Optical zoom is physically using the lens to zoom, in other words, it's real zoom. Digital zoom is simply blowing up a portion of the picture, like taking a small picture and having it blown up to a larger one. Always use optical zoom, the quality will be much better. Once you are using digital zoom you are just blowing up a portion of the picture and the quality degrades quickly.
