You forgot about crazy zooming. That old cameras had really nice zoom range, and every video made in 80-90 has that close-ups with zoom.,(reply>), @MrHack4never "digital zoom" would be quite a hassle considering it was analog. Besides that "digital zoom" is marketing wank for simple cropping of the image, no different than the crop tool in photoshop. It can be useful if programmed properly but most consumer devices are trash with either lazy or malicious programing with the purpose of pushing sales to the next model up. In these cases the crop is applied to the end image just before saving and results in magnified jpeg artifact garbage. <br>The correct application of "digital zoom" is to crop the raw sensor output before processing, down-scaling, or jpeg compression are applied.,(reply>), yeah, I can still remember watching blue peter and they were zoomed in and then they zoomed out all the way and the object that filled the entire screen was actually like 2 miles away XD,(reply>), And the extreme down-up or up-down camera angles, sometimes with a fish-eye.,(reply>), I love those old hand zooms.  Go from "See the entire city skyline" to "fly on an individual window" in a half-second.,(reply>), Dutch roll!
