I tried all of those advanced power zoom features when I got my PZ-1 11 or 12 years ago, and none of them was worth it. The image size tracking was the biggest disappointment--I thought it would be useful when shooting (maybe I should say "photographing"!) my fast-moving children, or a ski race. It turned out to be very jerky, inaccurate, and unreliable.
