In short, you almost allways get what you pay for. For those $40 you get
VGA resolution (640x480), and no optical zoom.

If you want widescreen HD you have the kodak ZX3 with  1920x1080
resolution which gives you about 6 times as many pixels for 3 times the
price: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0030MITDK
