Default Help needed on 'strange SONy DCR-TRV20" camera

Hi,

I want to buy a second hand Sony DCR-TRV20E for a really good price. Now
the guy who's selling it send me some pictures of it. On one of the
pictures I can read "40X digital Zoom".
WHat concerns me is that on al te site's I have checked
http://www.dealtime.com/xPO-Sony_DCR_TRV20

It sas that the camera has a 10X optical an a 120X digital Zoom.
What's the deal whit the 40X digital zoom on the camera? Are there any
replica's of this kind of camera's out there?
Is there a Diffrence between the DCR-TRV20 an the DCR-TRV20"E" model?

Thanks for your help

Clicking on your link above took me quickly to the quoted review, but when I
tried exploring other reviews on that website uniquely weird happenings took
place - like multi, multi openings of my browser as it struggled to deal
with their php download.

Is it my browser or their website? (I'm using Firefox as my default, but IE
didn't seem any better.)

Worked fine here in IE6 and Firefox 1.0 : It uses an iframe to display
the PDF but firefox seemed happy to use the iframe (I thought it
didn't support them ;-)

Cheers - Neil
