Please don't concern yourself with digital zoom. Honestly, it's one of the more pointless features on digital cameras. Here's the difference:
Optical zoom- the lens moves to zoom in on a faraway object before you take the picture.
Digital zoom- after you take the picture, you can go into Playback mode and zoom in on something that is too far away. You end up with a grainy enlarged version of your original photo; image quality depletes VERY rapidly.
IMO manufacturers use impressive digital zoom numbers to fool people into buying cameras. It can come in handy once in a great while but spend your real money on optical zoom.
With that said, if you're looking for a camera with lens that has a good zoom, it can get really expensive. But for mid-level pricing check out the
Nikon Coolpix S4... or any of these:
