And how effective is that? At that distance your fingers are
only a few pixels high. I wouldn't find that very helpful.
Might as well distribut an audio CD and some nice printed
close-ups.

Video resolution is frozen at 720x480. This is the same
for every video camera in NTSC-land (720x586 in the
PAL-territories). Those other numbers you are quoting
are only for still shots. This is why "zooming video" is
such a non-starter. Sorry for the bad news on Christmas.
