Testing it at Arsenal's Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid, the reviewer said the £499 add-on delivers 13x optical zoom and up to 60x digital zoom.
Image quality at 13x was described as impressive from a stadium upper tier, but fast-moving, low-light sports shots often blurred because teleconverter mode lacks shutter-speed control and Action mode.
Stage mode and -0.7EV improved results, while 60x images looked mushy and processed. The reviewer said the accessory suits concerts, travel and wildlife better unless Oppo expands manual controls.

Can a bulky lens truly beat AI-powered zoom without fixing its own software?
