The digital zoom function does not give you any more data to work with, it just expands the existing image to fill the screen. Increasing the "zooming view" on your device is exactly the same as editing the picture after you take it. So, if your quality was good, just use your photo editor to crop the picture to the desired area and the net effect is the same as if you had a higher digital zoom function.

I love having the camera on my Touch Pro for all those pics that I would never have gotten otherwise but, if I want to purposely take pics, that's what my digital SLR is for.

A lot of people would have flamed the OP. Well done for resisting the urge to flame and truly helping someone. Too many people just flame these days.
