Re: Cropping potential of the Canon 55-250mm

Just a question on how much you can crop while maintaining decent image quality on the 55-250mm. I ask because the Panasonic has various digital tricks like Intelligent zoom which extend the zoom range to 600mm equivalent and beyond, while often still keeping images acceptable. Would you be getting the same sort of cropping ability with the 55-250mm?

To be clear, any digital zoom is nothing more than in-camera cropping.  It should generally be avoided.
