t3i digital zoom test
(mobile readers, click here to view on vimeo)
When Canon’s t3i hit the market, we were interested in the new digital zoom feature offered on the entry-level DSLR.
Any good photographer knows that the usefulness of digital zoom for stills is limited…but what about video?
Since even full HD images are roughly 2 megapixels (or about 6mp on a non-3CCD sensor), there’s been buzz about using the new digital zoom for video to extend the t3i’s optical reach.
We use a quick and dirty test to see if this theory is fact…or a digital dream.
Thanks, @seancom for the testing idea…
