If you're talking about optical zoom there is no difference other than you will be closer to the viewed object.
If you are talking about digital zoom, the size of the pixels will increase and blur.
Hope that helps!

∙ 15y agoA 4x optical zoom creates images on the sensor or film that is up to 4 times larger than when the lens is at its wide-angle (unzoomed) position. A 6x zoom goes up to 6 times larger (or, if you prefer, closer).
One of the big advantages of zoom lenses is not their magnification, but their ability to allow you to compose and frame an image without moving around. By zooming in and out, you can include or exclude objects in the frame, making it unnecessary to crop the image later.
