Optical vs. Digital Zoom
Loss of image quality with digital zoom because software tries to make up for what the lens cannot do
Optical zoom offers better quality pictures
Compare optical zoom rating (higher is better)

Card Readers
Much faster than using cables
Eliminate the need for installing and running the extra software used to transfer images via cable
Simple to use Save battery life because your
camera doesn't have to be on to transfer the images
File Format
jpeg (Joint Photographic Experts Group) a technique for compressing full-color bit-mapped
gif (Graphic Interchange Format) used to exchange images across multiple platforms
tiff (Tag Image File Format) used specifically for saving images from scanners
pict used primarily on Macintosh computers
