Digital Zoom Digital
At what point does using digital zoom on a camera become unsuitable for 4 X 6 photo prints?

I have a Canon SX210 point & shoot with 14 X optical zoom, and 4X digital zoom for a max of 56X combined, and it is 14 megapixels. I doubt that a picture would come out very well at 56X, but how about 28X or somewhere thereabouts?

Digital zoom is the work of the devil.
It takes perfectly good information and destroys it. Then it takes what is left over, stretches it (badly) and presents it to you.

You should NOT use digital zoom. NEVER. EVER.

If you feel you absolutely must crop (same thing as digital zoom), then do it later on the computer – and only a little bit. You have way better control, you can see what you’re doing, and the computer does a better job of it.

If you try to print a photo at more than 100%, you’ll get pixellation and that is NOT pretty.
