FD88-FD91, example of optical vs digital zoom??

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

I'm considering the SONY FD91 and FD88 cameras.

I would like to know if someone has access to both the FD88 and FD91. I would like someone to post (or email me) images captured at 14x optical zoom (FD91) and 14x digital zoom (FD88). SONY touts that their system on the FD88 smooth jagged edges within the digital zoom but I'd like to see how well!! Please help. You'll be much revered by the folks on this discussion (for having both cameras if for nothing else!!!)

Before someone jumps on the "not the best quality for the money/megapixel" bandwagon...the images will be used on the web 99% of the time and I will be checking this camera out to students and I do NOT want the hassle of trying to set everyone up with card readers or other required drivers. If they can just bring an empty floppy - they can leave with it full without any hassles.
