What does the 20 x on the side of the Sony HVR-HD1000E refer to?

I'm confused about this figure on the side of this shoulder mounted camcorder, I may get it but firstly it says 20x but in all the spec sheets I have read it says the optical zoom is only 10x and there is no mention of a digital zoom. Does anyone know what this figure is?



20x is the digital zoom. Make sure you turn it off unless you are doing something artistic because you should never use it. It is just a gimmick.




cameras tend to exaggerate their zoom, the one to look out for is optical zoom, this is the zoom where it doesn't pixelise when you zoom in. The 20x is talking about the total zoom.
