I certainly would not say "only"
Why not say only? That IS the only kind of zoom the devices use and it doesn't make the Pocket Pro a horrible device or not worth buying or anything. It is simply accurately reporting its features so somebody can make an educated decision on what they want. Not everything has to be 'spun' and I feel like way too much is and it makes me uncomfortable and not very confident in the devices.

To some extent I agree. I'm going to make a very large assumption here and assume that many of us who are "first adapters" are technically literate. And also that other technically literate people, as I am, prefer facts to hype. Sales people are often not as technically literate, nor is the average buyer. To some of them there is no difference between hype and facts. However to us who are technically literate there is a huge difference, so much, in fact, that we quickly become disgruntled when we can not find the facts among all the hype.
I personally believe that it is really the lack of sufficient facts, rather than the abundance of hype, that upsets us. I know it is for me. I'm used to "weeding out" the hype in commercials.
Again - just one man's opinions.
