Agreed that it is not a "zoom" lens, it is a prime, I was keeping it basic for non camera guys. It looks "zoomed" compared to the native H's image. That is why some call it a zoom.
Also yes you do lose some resolution if you zoom in on the image in post but it would not really be that much overall. You would hardly notice it in video for the difference between the "mini-zoom" and native FOV.
I am talking video here not stills. 4K for video resolution is very high. To me this camera is NOT a (good) still camera even though it can take stills.
Photograpy is not my area, to me this is a video platform. I am an armature videographer, not a photographer. Different skill set. i
