As I write about new camera launches, I often scoff at brags about digital zooms. A digital zoom isn’t a real zoom, I think, as I skip on to more important features. But as camera sensors blow past 45MP and even into triple-digit resolutions, I started to wonder if my disdain for digital zoom was misplaced in the modern era.
Wondering if perhaps everything I’ve been told about digital zoom is no longer true, I decided to put my beliefs about the lesser-loved zoom format to the test with a 102MP camera with digital zoom: The Fujifilm GFX100RF.
