An image sensing apparatus comprising: image sensing means for imaging a subject through a zoom lens, which is capable of optically scaling a light image, and outputting image data representing the image of the subject; electronic zoom means for electronically scaling the image data obtained by said image sensing means; zoom operating means for performing an operation for changing zoom magnification of the zoom lens and of said electronic zoom means; zoom control means for scaling the image data using only the zoom lens if zoom magnification is within an optical-zoom application scaling range that extends up to a maximum optical zoom magnification which prevails when the zoom lens is situated at a telephoto end, and making joint use of said electronic zoom means if zoom magnification is within an electronic-zoom application scaling range that exceeds the maximum optical zoom magnification; super-resolution processing means for subjecting the image data to super-resolution processing that emphasizes contours while suppressing emphasis of noise, thereby generating super-resolution image data; characterized by weighted combining means for combining the generated super-resolution image data and image data, which has not been subjected to super-resolution processing, by weighting processing executed such that the higher the zoom magnification, the greater the weight assigned to the super-resolution image data, either, in a first alternative, this being performed when the zoom magnification is within the electronic-zoom application scaling range, or, in a second alternative, the image sensing apparatus further comprising recording control means for recording in recording means image data that has been scaled to the zoom magnification and not subjected to super-resolution processing, this being performed if zoom magnification is equal to or less than a zoom magnification at which a spatial frequency response, which is decided by characteristics of said image sensing apparatus and the zoom magnification, takes on a prescribed value with regard to a predetermined standard spatial frequency, and for recording in the recording means image data, which has been obtained by weighting and combining the super-resolution image data and the image data that has not been subjected to super-resolution processing, upon scaling this weighted and combined image data to the zoom magnification, this being performed in a case where zoom magnification is greater than the zoom magnification at which the spatial frequency response takes on the prescribed value. image sensing means for imaging a subject through a zoom lens, which is capable of optically scaling a light image, and outputting image data representing the image of the subject;
