Digital zooms will generally not be as good as optical . Not that the Mavic 3 has a zoom it's just a fixed 7x telephoto lens. Any zooming you get is just digital
Try taking a 1X picture, open it in Photoshop or similar, blow it up to 4X magnification, then crop out the centre. You'll find it's much the same as that 4X shot, because that's what the drone is doing for you at 4X digital zoom. It's just saving you the storage space and the processing later on.
1X = Main camera native
2X = Main camera (digital zoom) looks aceptable
4X = Main camera (digital zoom) looks horrible
7X = Zoom camera native optical lens and looks good
14X to 28X = Zoom camera (digital zoom) goor for inspection but bad for videographer or photographers.
