RE: OT - Digital Cameras

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

Ignore digital zooms if you're still looking for quality ... they should
only be regarded as an absolute last resort. All they do is upsample the
centre portion of the image and you'll get better results doing the
upsampling in PhotoShop (or such like) as most of the upsampling routines
are fairly dumb given the limited processing horesepower in cameras.
