not true. a less expensive example would be the canon powershot a620. very good image quality, and i was even surprised at how good the video qulaity was. considerably more video options than previous models, but very memory-greedy.

also not true. there is a loss of quality, certainly, although unnoticable when compared to digital zoom.
