Can this camera zoom while recording a video? And I don’t mean digitally.

@BabyTiger1988:
Yes, with a zoom lens you can zoom optically any time.  Some caveats though:
(1) many lenses limit aperture at higher focal lengths.  If you start with a wide aperture, that can lead to surprises.  Constant-aperture lenses are usually preferable.
(2) some of the cheaper lenses change the focus point when changing the focal length.  So those aren’t practical.
(3) EOS lenses don’t motorize the zoom action (except for the old 35-80PZ, but that’s an uncommon lens).  It takes quite a bit of practice to get a smooth zooming movement.

@porcu:
Calling people names ultimately only reflect on yourself.

Its a good question for those who have never used an SLR but are use to point-and-shoot cameras. Digital zoom doesn’t exist for this level of camera equipment, its all optical zoom. The amount of zoom allowed will depend on the lens (zoom lens). The equivalent to digital zoom for SLR users is scaling the image during post-processing in Photoshop or some other photo editor.

Im still waiting for the new camera raw from Adobe for the mk III. Lightroom 4 is not currently supporting it and DNG converter is not recognizing my raw files either.  You would think there would be some coordination at that level.  Then again it is terribly new and I’m having loads of fun shooting video for the first time.
