The zoom says 16x and yes it looks like 1.5x, it's weird. Seems like a scam.

  To be fair, I feel like the 16x frame looks more like 2x than 1.5x, but yeah someone ought to do the math there and be honest about what you're going to be seeing. /me realizes something Wait, the camera is advertised as being 720p. No mention of optical zoom (and smartphones (which are bigger and heavier!) don't have that either). I'm allowed to drive, so I'd say my eyesight ought to be better than 720p (at least after the brain's post-processing, as eyeballs are allegedly pretty terrible). In that case, "zooming" cannot help to see more. If this crops 720 pixels by a factor of 16, you get 45 pixels blown up to the whole screen. Plus motion blur. I can understand they didn't show what 16x would look like! What a scam of a feature, neither being 16x nor being useful at all nor being zoom by any of merriam webster's definitions. Either that or I am majorly missing something here.

    maybe it uses stable diffusion to upscale?
    • themoonisachees 4y ago
      This thing doesn't have nearly enough power nor battery on board to run even the smallest stable diffusion model at all, not even talking about the nightmare that would be doing it in realtime. If you want, you could do it offboard but there's a reason wireless VR headsets don't work, and it's latency.

        I was being sarcastic :-) SD upscale doesn't even make sense for zooming, it's just fabricating data.
