Logan -- digital zoom on cameras are bad. It's not even a "real" zoom, all it does is enlarges the picture, similar to if you took the image in your graphic program and enlarged it. It looses quailty. :( My powershot only has digital zoom on it as well, but since digital zoom isn't even "real" zoom, I disabled the feature from being used.
If you want to get a zoom on your camera, get one with OPTICAL zoom :)
