Digital Camera’s digital zoom VS The Gimp zoom

Here are 3 pictures I shot with a Fuji F30 at 6.3 megapixels.

First Picture: No camera zoom and zoomed 18.5x on the computer (using The Gimp).

Second one: 3x optical zoom and 6.2x on the computer.

Third one: 3x optical zoom and
6.2x camera digital zoom.

Conclusion: Using your camera’s digital zoom give better results than what you can achieve with an image editing software zoom (results may vary with a different camera).
