The specifics, need to decide between the Sealife DC 2000 or the discontinued 1400,

Both are underwater cameras that can be removed from the waterproof case and then slipped into the back pocket for use on land, family vacation for example.

Both these cameras are likely way more advanced than any thing I'm up to speed on,

here's the dilemma, the 1400 has 5x optical zoom and 14 mp.

the 2000 has 20 mp and no zoom,

If I'm looking for a land and sea camera, what am I giving up with no zoom?

At 20mp, are we simply cropping and enlarging as needed with editing?

Would you buy a camera with no Zoom?
