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

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

This is a partial answer from my favorite 'ex' site, DCResource.com "...The LX7's movie mode has been enhanced quite a bit since the LX5 came out. Forget 720p -- the LX7 can record Full HD video at 1080/60p with stereo sound, using the AVCHD Progressive codec. The bit rate is a whopping 28 MBps at this setting, so you'll want a large (not to mention fast) memory card if you're using this mode. If you want interlaced video for some reason, then a 1080/60i option is at your disposal. For both of these modes, you can keep recording for up to 30 minutes. You can also step down to the 720/60p resolution, which has unlimited recording times (outside of Europe). If you want to avoid AVCHD entirely -- which you might, since it's difficult to edit and share -- then you can also use MPEG-4 (a step up from Motion JPEG used on the LX5). You can record video at 1920 x 1080, 1280 x 720, and 640 x 480, all at 30 frames/second. MPEG-4 video is much easier to work with on your computer, though note that recording stops when the file size reaches 4GB, which takes about 24 minutes at the 1080/30p setting."... for more info go to http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/panasonic/dmc_lx7-review/page-0,1 I must say, I've been thrilled with this camera, it's like finally having the high end Lieca D-lux 5 without the high end price tag. Check to see the similarities and enjoy, I sure am. Good Luck.

Well, it only has digital zoom, and no real optical zooming (the lens does not move). I never use digital zoom, as it makes an already grainy image (from this camera anyway) even less sharp. If I wanted to "zoom" I would do it in post-processing in your computer's video editor, as you can crop at will.

yes...you can zoom. No size limit....record until the card is full. Not sure on image stabilization but I think it does.

Look up "canon chdk". It's a firmware that you load from your sd card. I'm getting optical zoom in my SD800IS, along with many other features, like shooting in raw, and control over shutter speed. For those cameras with aperture control (mine just has a NS filter), you can even adjust that.Still, I really like the looks of the SX1 coming out. I'm going to start saving for Christmas now.

Yes. You can zoom, but you can't adjust the zoom once you've started recording.

You can zoom in and out while recording movies. This is a function of the lens, alone and has no bearing on camera function.Thanks,Joe VirgilProduct Specialist

is a 7x Optical zoom, but my camera doesn't work since 1 month ago, so i don't recommend you purchase that camera.

The vid cam has 10X optical zoom which can be "enhanced" by 7X digital zoom. I don't use the digital zoom because it's not really a zoom, since all it does is enlarge the pixels. If I need more than 10X optical zoom, I use my feet (if possible).

Yes, you may zoom in video mode. However, it is not the full 30x. Not sure how much, but it works well for me.

The zoom here is digital zoom not optical zoom so going much over 2x is pretty useless as quality plummets quickly. The Flip is the only camera Id recommend but the zoom is not too useful. Zooming in and out on any of the cameras is going to be rough and shaky at best. Cameras like this are super easy to operate and give fantastic results. Id say stick with flip and go ultra then if its not your bag resell it as theres a hungry market to buy from you. I have used flip for most all the videos at 90secondsuccess and will be buying another one any day now. Hope this helps. rb

yes it has a movie record mode for short videos that does a fairly good job with sound also. The sound is a little quiet on mine but on my dad's (same camera) the sound is better

Yes, you can zoom in while recording, but you do hear the zoom sound on the recorded video. I'm sure there's a way to remove that sound if you are an editing expert, which I'm not. So it's more annoying than anything really. Overall, I am still happy with the camera.

Yes, the 890IS can zoom while filming, no problem. It's quite amazing actually - in a quiet environment, you can hear motor when you zoom, but the motor noise isn't audible in the recorded movie. Unfortunately, you do hear the sound of the zoom control lever, which leaves an audible click each time you move or release it. The still camera is a 5.0x optical zoom, but for some reason, the zoom range when recording movies is only indicated as 4.0x. The quality of the video clips looks really good but the colors seem overly vivid vs still modes. I don't know if this is a byproduct of the avi compression or perhaps I don't have the setting right yet. I've had the camera for 2 weeks and not had a chance to dig in really deep yet.
