I have to say that I've been impressed with what I've seen online of the P2 with zoom. Particularly with brief use, I don't think it yells "digital zoom" at the viewer. In your excellent example above, I think the movement of the camera makes it perhaps more detectable - maybe it is best with non-panned shots? But the aircraft number in black on the white body of the plane looks as sharp as a tack in the zoomed version.
If you were knid enough to test further (my P2 has still not arrived) I for one would be interested in a non-panned shot, in daylight, of a scene with detail plus some foliage (which often gives things away) zoomed in the camera, then compared with what you get by zooming in post-production, which is the normal alternative to in-camera digital zoom. Ideally, best not to use either, but if it has to be done, it would be interesting to see if there is any visual advantage in using the P2 zoom.
Sorry for the late reply. Weather at my corner of the world has been the usual dreary, grey and wet December. However, if you can accept my word, I'll say that the digital zooming for stills is a waste of time. However, when used in video it can save some post processing steps. The degradation in video is not noticeable when zoomed in as even a 4K resolution is much smaller than the still photo full resolution - 4K's 3840x2160 vs a16:9 still photo's 4608x2592 of the Pocket |
