Zoom while capturing video?

[BlinK_]

Can A700 or A620 zoom while capturing video? If not, what canon cameras can do this? Thanks.

The S2 can. I dont know why they wouldnt put that on the camera, everyone asks that though.

NVM, the A70 wont zoom and record video.

The S3 can also do it.

Most cameras don't do that because the microphone would pick up the sound of the motors moving lens and make the audio track useless. It takes some engineering to allow for silent zoom, and that isn't currently available for most cameras.
