what are you expecting to be "shared"?

no zoom on the camera app is the deal breaker?

are you trolling?

what is the point of this post?

Yes, as noted in the stickied FAQ, there is no digital zoom in the camera app like on other Android devices. As far as I know, and I'm sure someone will be quick to correct me, there hasn't been a real zoom on any phone.

Personally, this didn't bother me because the digital zoom always looked like crap lol.

You should explain to her the difference between a mobile phone and a digital camera. And if she thinks that she can get the best of both (all) worlds in a single device, perhaps you should tell her about this thing called ... money?

Bad idea, mate. Talk to a gal about money and all she hears is, "Let's go shopping!"

Nearly all cell phone cameras lack "zoom".

What you see in cameras labeled "zoom" is actually cropping, so you end up with a lower quality crop.

Explain that and she'll be okay.

Please stop the arguing in this thread, or it will be closed and infractions/warning PMs will be sent. Thank you.

Edit: Thread cleaned from all the nonsense. Please, keep this on track.

Explain that all she's ever had on any phone is digital zoom which is not supported in the stock Android camera app. There are alternative camera apps in the Market if it's really important to her.

Like I've already explained: "maybe it's not so useful for pictures (because it's a digital zoom) but it could be useful for videos in order to move attention on a detail".

Lack of 720p is another issue, however, 720p recording (just like digital zooming) is usually interpolated on smartphones, so it's not a big one. Moreover, you know it doesn't record at 720p from specs.

They down sample. There is no issue with downsampling. Upsampling (digital zoom) degrates the image.

Upsample. Usually on smartphones the sensor is not 720p capable but it has a lower resolution, so you get 720p recording by upsampling frames. However this is off-topic
