RE: scope zoom vs camera zoom
Optical zoom is acomplished by manipulation of lenses, digital zoom does it by electronic manipulation. Of the two optical zoom produces better image resolution as the magnification increases.

For the most part, Yes, the optical zoom on a camera is the same as on your rifle scope
