Me no likey digital zoom. Just ordered my Xacti WH1.
There's pretty much no point in digital zoom if you're going to be editing the video. You don't get any closer shots! The camera picks up the same image but lessens the pixel resolution and scales up; so the same information captured by on pixel gets spread across 4 or more - thus decreasing the size of the captured image, and also decreasing the quality at the same time. If you want digital zoom do it in video editing software, then you can decide what gets cut out the view.
