It's "CoolPix L110" btw.From the User Manual, page 73, under "Recording Movies" - number 3, 4th bullet:"Digital Zoom cannot be used while recording movies. If digital Zoom is used before recording, it will be cancelled when recording starts."Optical zoom works fine, though :D

When My Coolpix S220's small internal camera memory is full, it says "memory full" even though it has an empty 4G memory card . . . that used to work. Any suggestions about how to get the camera to recognize the memory card?

With this Sony model you cannot take a still photo while shooting video. On some previous models you could. Sony took that feature away on this one - and I was unhappy to find that out (after I bought the camera)

If you bought the same one I did, it would not zoom because the camera does not go through the optics of the binoculars,it is just a camera.

Sorry - only used the video once or twice and did not work well so not sure I ever tried zoom in that mode

I tried to use that camera but the lack of a zoom among other things led to my returning it. I ended up buying a Sony camcorder for $130 which works works much better with a zoom The Sony camcorder is extremely light and easy to carry around.

Yes, you can zoom in when recording video. But you do have to turn off the microphone in setting or it won't work.

M. Dutra, yes, this is possible with the SX200. You should also consider the Panasonic Lumix ZS3 for video, since it allows you to zoom in and out while shooting video. And further, it features AVCHD compression which allows for longer videos per megabyte. Take a look at http://www.panasonic.net/lumix and select ZS3. Oh, and regardless of camera choice, you may want to use a tripod while taking video using the zoom, as camera shake is amplified. Even the built in "IS" can only stabilize the image so much.

The reviewer was probably talking about the digital zoom feature, which blows up the same image when it zooms, which effectively makes the feature useless. It's like magnifying an image with a fixed number of pixels in photoshop: the more you blow up the image, the more flawed the image becomes. Optical zoom, which works correctly for photos, doesn't have that issue on the SD780 or the SD940. Bottom line: If you buy either of those cameras, resign yourself to not zooming while already in HD video mode. If you want a closer video, set the optical zoom before going into record mode.

According to one of the reviews, you can't zoom while using he video function.

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).

When shooting videos, how do I shoot still photos at the same time (apparently older M1+Mii could do this)?

I have not tried that yet over the winter. I typically use zoom or macro for that. I do most of my shots handheld.

If you are refering to remote shooting with the Canon SD1000 using the included Canon ZoomBrowser EX software on a PC, then I believe the answer is: You can't. The ZoomBrowser EX software is included with a lot of Canon Camera models, some of which support remote shooting/shutter using PC software. I admit, it would be cool if it worked, but seems really more or use for larger SLR type cameras. JMHO.

I have never tried doing that while taking video. But very pleased with camera!

The C910 specs do not list optical zoom or any zoom as a feature and I have not found it on the C910 I have. Bottom line is, there is no C910 zoom. I cannot speak to other Logitech webcams.

No you cannot. It is a single 12x magnification. The only zoom option you have is your phone's built-in camera zoom. It has manual focus that can be tricky to work with in conjunction with the camera's auto focus.
