I noticed something in slight contrast with one of the critiques here, but on a real modern device. On a kindle, if you open the browser and navigate to a random real web page, you can pinch to zoom / zoom out. It is almost exactly like the zoom on this photo interface, sort of clicking in on a grid, one rendered rectangle at a time. It's a result of the e-ink display's refresh rate limitations, along with a simplistic approach to zooming "render every step of the zoom no matter what". It's kinda cool, even though it's bad design. I instantly thought of bladerunner. Funnily, I think the solution to the kindle's design problem is to go full blade runner. First calculate the final level of zoom from the last pinch operation. Second, isolate that area on the screen with two vertical and two horizontal lines, showing where the zoom render will leave you spatially. Third, render the zoomed area. For zooming out, basically the same thing, though the grid lines will show you were you were, the last fully rendered area, for one refresh cycle.
