As pointed out in the article, pixels = zoom.
If you are ready to settle for a lower def image, crop the 14Mp one and voila. Zoomed.
Advantage of the pixels:
- you have choice to zoom or detail,
- telelenses need lots of light,
- telelenses make shaky blurry image likely
As pointed out in the article, pixels = zoom: just crop if you are ready to swap definition for zoom.
Pixels are better because:
- you have a chioice between zoom and detail
- telelenses need lots of light
- telelenses are easily shaken, resulting in blurry pictures.
The effect of not using a telelens are:
- more depth of field & expanded perspective due to a shorter focal length
- extra manual step to do the cropping afterward.
So no downside to speak of in most cases.
