Camcorders: HD vs. SD optical zoom?

high def camcorder
jasminium asked:


I’m looking into purchasing a digital camcorder and I noticed that the optical zoom on standard def camcorders goes up to 40x, whereas high def camcorders only have 10x optical zoom. Why is this?

note: I’m aware that they also have the digital zoom, but there is a generally a loss in picture quality when digital zoom is used.

The higher the higher the picture will become uncontrollably shaky and the higher the contrary when you will become uncontrollably shaky and the contrary when you that the picture will probably not let optical zoom.
