Hey @<camera-ui2 devs>,

yesterday I was thinking in bed (...) is it possible to implement software zoom in videos similar to the one found in Canon's newer DSLRs.

For example if the sensor is 512x512 pixels and you are shooting video @128x128 you would be skipping 3 pixels for each one, at zoom level 2 you would start shooting from 128th pixel top&left and end at 384th pixel skipping every other pixel, and at zoom level 3 you would start from 192th pixel and end at 320th pixel, capturing every of the pixels. This will create a software fake zoom that does not lose quality.

And some illustrations(Rant @TMO file uploader requirements):
