If the software is bloated, slow and packed with features that you'll never use, no matter what a great bargain it is, how enjoyable will it be to use? If you don't like using it because it's overly complicated and difficult, how often do you think you will use it?

This hidden camera is also an energy efficient instrument which means I would not have to shed extra amount for the electricity bill.

The lens moves forward and backwards to bring the image closer without losing any quality. The optical magnification of the moving lenses ranges from 2.0x to 10.0x. The closer you get to the upper end, the farther away the subject can be when you take a photo. On the other hand, digital zoom is actually a software that simulates optical zoom without any physical movement. What it does is to crop the picture and enlarge it, just like a photo editing application which you can use afterwards. Alex Don - Digital and Optical Camera Zoom: What's the Difference?
