Many users would like a way to click on an image and see a larger and/or zoomable version rather than always go to the catalog record. The catalog record approach makes lots of sense to archivists and historians, but not to the many lay users.

Clicking on the image in the items/show page will take users to a full-size image on its own page, but there isn't a specific zoom tool for Omeka although some others have worked it into their sites.
For example, the Lincoln at 200 site, from the Newberry Library & Chicago History Museum designed a site with Zoomify in the exhibit builder: http://lincolnat200.org/exhibits/show/thewest/freelabor/neworleans
There are some other options:
--Adding a Lightbox:
