The Panasonic VDR-D200 DVD Camcorder has 30x Optical Zoom, with up to 1000x Digital Zoom. The key difference between optical and digital zoom is the quality of the image; optical zoom uses the actual lenses to increase the magnification of the images, which results in significantly higher quality; digital zoom uses computer-based logic to render the image as zoomed in.
