Claim One:
1. A camera operated by a user, comprising: a first sensor that captures a first image; a first lens that directs light to the first sensor, the first lens having a first focal length, wherein the combination of the first sensor and first lens has a first field of view; a second sensor that captures a second image; a second lens that directs light to the second sensor, the second lens having a second focal length that is longer than the first focal length, wherein the combination of the second sensor and second lens has a second field of view, wherein the first field of view is greater than the second field of view; and a zoom control operable by the user to allow the user to request a desired field of view to produce a zoomed image; wherein the combination of the first sensor and the first lens are substantially aligned with the combination of the second sensor and the second lens to allow each to be directed toward the same subject; wherein the zoomed image is the first image if the requested field of view is substantially equal to the first field of view, the zoomed image is produced from the first image by cropping and interpolating the first image if the requested field of view is less than the first field of view and greater than the second field of view, the zoomed image is the second image if the requested field of view is substantially equal to the second field of view, and the zoomed image is produced from the second image by cropping and interpolating the second image if the requested field of view is less than the second field of view.
