Yes you can use the 4x optical zoom while shooting video. I just verified this with my camera in hand.

With mine I found that it sometimes worked & sometimes didn't. There didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

I also consider this an important feature. I was decided to buy this camera, but when I was in the store checking whether I could zoom while in the motion picture mode and I discovered I could not do so, I gave up... It's a pitty because apart of that, the camera is nearly perfect for me...Ken Techbuyer, maybe you should have start recording instead of only selecting the motion picture mode? This camera has no zoom while recording movies.

I just tested it, and you can zoom during movie mode.Oops--I have CHDK on my memory card.CHDK gives your camera many new features that Canon 'forgot' to enable (such as motion detection, interval scripting, exposure bracketing, etc.).Zoom was probably disabled because it adds a lot of noise, so Canon only gives you digital zoom in movie mode. If you want optical zoom, put CHDK on your memory card. This will also give you an option to mute it during zoom. Alternatively, you could edit it after on your computer.google for CHDK for more info. This makes Canon point-and-shoots much more featureful than other brands and sold me on this Powershot (a great camera for $75).

When shooting 640 x 480 Standard Definition, 1280 x 720 or 1920 x1080 High Definition, sound recording is automatically on. A note on the menu screen will say so. The High Speed movie setting is on, sound is not recorded. Best to download an owners manual and get a more complete answer. The manual is free at www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/manuals/pdf/index/f/finepix_f500exrseries_manual_01.pdf.

Size is a big difference for me. The A710IS is a bit larger. Also, the top ISO for the A710IS is only 800. Also, I believe the A570IS has video capability while the A710IS does not. I was debating between the A570IS, A710IS, and SD750, and finally settled on buying the A570IS because of it's size, performance, relative ease of use, cost, and batteries.

I looked at the camera menu, and it appears it is capable of shooting NTSC (US) and PAL (Canada & Europe) video. I've never tried video, so I have no idea about the results. The instructions I got were not in English, so I downloaded and printed my manual, since I haven't 'Video'd' I have no clue how to set it up. If my memory serves me, the lenses are the the same as the older Canon EOS digitals, and even earlier Canon 35mm film cameras. The lenses we have for 'my' camera are from our first Canon 35mm film camera, and work as good as they did with it. We have 3 lenses, one is for wide angle scenes, one for 'mid range' pix and the third is relatively long lens that we use for 'almost telephoto' pictures. That's the draw-backs, for differences in distance, the lens must be changed for detail. One of my friends had an adapter for the his telescope eye-piece that would adapt the camera to his 1500 mm telescope tube. Now that was a telephoto lens. Do what you will, I like my 20D just fine. It has a masculine feel to it, it fits well in work worn hands. The function buttons must be touched on purpose to change the function of what you want to do. I bought a new Canon for my wife. It was what she wanted, and in her internet research, it was what she wanted. It is all, and more than she wanted. I love the way the camera takes pictures, but the function buttons are so sensitive that I find I change functions when that isn't my intention. However it takes AWESOME Pictures. The 20D is an amazing camera, and cost about a sixth of the price. Buy the lens if you will, shoot your videos, but remember, let me know how they turn out.

I dont own a fuji finepix, but I can say that No the Stylus 9000 zoom function does not work while in movie mode. Once you pick a particular zoom and start recording your stuck with it until you stop recording.

wrong......there is option for zoom in movie mode but it is the digital zoom so not as sharp but it does work.

From the description on Amazon: Compact, powerful 10x optical zoomImagine the photos and movies you can capture with a compact camera that features a powerful 10x optical zoom lens. Vary your shots: zoom out to capture the fun and laughter at a party, zoom in to frame a winning goal. Your photos and HD movies will be sharp and clear thanks to the S6300's versatile 10x optical Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens (25-250mm) with built-in optical VR Image Stabilization technology.

You can run the lens out whilst shooting video, so zooming isn't a problem. The only downside is the sound of the lens coming out is picked up by the microphone.

Yes only digital... Well it might have a small optical zoom (5x or 10x) but I would not use the digital zoom as it gets very grainy. Honestly stopped using it after a year, case cracker twice, and the battery overheats causing it to drain really fast. Wouldn't film 10min with out powering down, and it was "fully charged'. I can't really recommend this camera. Sony point and shoots take better video...

No, it's been out a long time. Camera's are like computers, new models are released often, unless there is some specific new feature you are looking for a slightly outdated model can save you money. I use this one in place of my expensive SLR when there is risk of damage or just a quick documentation. Can do 30 second movies. Also check SONY S220. I am happy with the Canon A530.

yes...you can zoom. No size limit....record until the card is full. Not sure on image stabilization but I think it does.
1055144
Yes. I just got mine and have been reading the manual and watching demos and reading reviews. Zoom works when shooting video, optical up to 5X and then digital up to 20X. (I am shooting video at 1280x720 which is HD enough for me.) Also I understand that the automagic settings continue to adjust continually while taking the video, and the image stabilization is just beyond awesome - I have a hand tremor that you would think would be extremely noticeable in a video and there is no hint of it. I am in awe of this thing.

Hello Lobo1117, the A700 does not have video capability. It was introduced about a year before dslr cameras were integrating video. The A77 is the comparable model that does.

Yes and no... The camera does have this capability, but the quality of focus while zooming in and out (during recording) does not appear to be all that consistent/reliable. I just did a little test before replying to this question; there were places within the zoom range where the camera simply could not/would not focus.

it's because the zoom on the video mode fails on this camera after awhile,at least it did on mine.i took prolly 10 videos at concerts and noticed i was able to zoom while recording.then all of the sudden it didn't work anymore.u have to zoom in to where u want it now and can't adjust the zoom once u push record.

Yes. Not only can you use the zoom you can also take pictires while you are recording a movie. You can also capture individual frames from the movie afterward.

From SD990 Users Manual (p 100):'You can use the digital zoom, but the optical zoom cannot be used. If you want to shoot at the maximum magnification, you should adjust the zoom to the maximal factor before shooting. The sound from the zoom will be recorded'So really, it is just like many other cheaper P&S; cameras, you can only use digitial zoom in movie mode. Digital zoom will degrade image quality considerably.Here is the link to the manual: http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/0300001398/PSSD990IS_IXUS980IS_CUG_EN.pdf
