Though its no different than the way a mechanical zoom behaves; greater detail at the expense of FOV.
If this type of "digital zoom", i.e. one achieved by incorporating a sensor of far greater resolution size than the stream it delivers, becomes more popular, "digital zoom" may rival physical zooms, without the moving parts and all the extra glass.
