Hello,
here is a video comparison between the zoom of the C23 and the zoom in post production.
I leave you judge of the results.
My analysis: in video, the zoom of the C23 brings a more undeniable compared to the zoom in post production (I did not think so much), especially if it is used at maximum in 2X for an output in 4K UHD and 4X maximum for an output in 1080p (but still filmed in 4K originally). The treatment of the camera takes into account the area of the sensor in order to get the best zoom.
What is not the case in photo, since only the JPG are treated, and the original are not good. It is better to make a good Tiff from the DNG and zoom after.
Conclusion: personally, the use of the drone makes it possible to zoom naturally while flying, which gives a style to the image. I see a benefit for search or inspection in VIDEO, not in photo.
Then, I still do not know how the stabilization of the nacelle behaves with the zoom of the C23, I think it will be necessary to remain reasonable if you make the speed with the wind.
