I just wanted to add that whenever you're looking at cameras, don't even consider digital zoom - it's worthless. Turn it off on whatever camera you have. Optical zoom uses the lens to bring things closer; digital zoom just enlarges the pixels. Digital zoom might look ok on the screen on the back of the camera, but once you see the photo on your computer monitor, it's horrible. Use digital zoom only as a last resort to capture a memory.
+1 to that, I turned off the digital zoom on the S5 that I own and haven't missed it at all. You get so much better clarity from the optical zoom.
