Is digital zoom better than optical zoom?

Optical zoom lenses are much superior to digital zoom lenses. With an optical zoom lens, the lens physically gets longer during the zoom and optical glass elements move to change the focal length. With digital zoom lenses the effect is created through an algorithm.

When you zoom, the computer calculates the percent of enlargement and selects part of the image and essentially creates an enlargement on the view screen. This is why they sometimes seem to jump during zoom since there is a delay created by the computer calculation. Digital zoom images may appear unclear or pixilated since they are essentially enlargements rather than a physical change in the focal length of the lens.

Keep in mind that many compact digital cameras have both optical and digital zoom. You want a camera with as large an optical zoom as possible in the cases of these cameras. All DSLR zoom lens are optical zoom lenses only.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
