I'm looking to see if anyone's familiar with a compact digital camera
that, while recording video clips, maintains its focus while zooming
in/out. Most camcorders have this capability. But I'm having trouble
finding a digital camera that doesn't need to re-focus once you've
zoomed in. Any suggestions? Thank you.

My Panasonic FZ30 maintains focus. You just have to remember that it focuses
slow, so if you go from wide to full zoom quickly it will take a second for
the focus to catch up. This has nothing to do with the continuous auto focus
mode which you don't need for video. Besides being able to zoom the image
stabilization of the 30 also works so you get very good video for a still
camera.

Many still cameras don't allow zooming while in 'movie mode'. Those
that do should certainly also autofocus, and adjust the aperture. You
might check the Kodak 705, I believe it has the zoom during movie mode
feature. >> Stay informed about: Camera with autofocus during video zoom |
