I tried to get some pictures of some of my frags I got at the meeting and they look bad. I tried using the tripod but I had to zoom in so far that you could see the pixels. I am assuming that the digital zoom reduces the picture quality.
Yes the digital zoom will, optical zoom normally does not as bad.

Yeah, skip the digital zoom. Zoom as much as you can with the optical and crop the picture for the subject. That's what I do anyways. Zoom as much as I can, and crop out the rest.
The two lenses I've seen for coolpix addons are macros/telephotos. The only thing the macro would do for you is allow you to focus closer. The telephoto lens will magnify the subject, but will increase your focal length.
They sell a bunch of the nikon add on lenses on ebay, I don't know anything about them.. just did a quick search and saw a bunch.
Here is a frag that I got Saturday. This one is from Terry. I used all of the optical zoom and cropped and resized the picture to see what it looked like.
Sorry, probably just not enough megapixels to get away with that trick.
I used a magnifying glass sometimes with my olympus and that worked pretty good as long as things weren't too far back in the tank. I had to be able to focus the magnifying glass on it.
