I don't know if it's a strong argument, but this is what digital cameras
do in their view modes.

True, but who expects a photo management program to do the same.
Instead, I'd expect that zooming out would do as it says, zoom out.. to
50%, 25%, or even smaller percentages of the real photo size. 

Digital cameras use zooming out to go to browser/overview mode because
of the limited modalities they have and thus cannot afford to assign
extra buttons for such functionality. However, it's hardly related to
each other. I think it'd confuse people rather than support their
cognitive models.
