Unbelievable in this day and age that theyt would DISABLE the zoom in video mode :S http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/pentax_optio_rz18_rev…
also bizarre they are only 720p
still, if you want a pocket superzoom for good light conditions, amazing buy
amazing they can make the lens so small and unobtrusive
