What's the best jQuery product zoom plugin?

I'm not much of a frontend guy, just learning jQuery, so any help is appreciated. What's the easiest, most stable jQuery zoom plugin?

I have a regular size product image and a detailed image. I need to be able to zoom in somehow. Which would you recommend?

+6 A:

jqzoom

fancyzoom

It is driving me crazy though that I the zoomWidth changes seem to have no effect. The lens is way too tiny and the zoomed window is too small...nothing I do seems to have any impact...any thought?

Sorry, I haven't done this. Just had a look at this and thought it might be useful.

Fixed it...it's a bit janky when resizing windows and chrome needs reboot after a refresh, but I guess it works ok overall.

Thanks, but my question was aiming more for best of breed recommendations from experienced front end developers than trying out a list of different ones. Which of those would you recommend to a client or friend? jqzoom installed OK, but the dimensions aren't working for me, unless I can figure out why my settings aren't taking I'll have to choose another one.

Each solution has it's ups and downs. Sometimes you hit a roadblock and there's no explanation why. I ran into this issue with a a jquery "endless scrolling" plugin the other day. Contacted the developer to let him know and didn't get anything back. So I was forced to find another solution. No problem. Installation is a matter of popping in a javascript file and renaming a few classes. Therefore, I've always went about trying each one, considering you're looking at only a matter of a few minutes per install. I typically look for a solution that 1) Works (in all browsers) 2) is extendable.

I would say jqzoom is the most popular and most widely accepted among all of those examples.
