Users can enjoy crisp, blur-free movie clips at all zoom settings, even when holding the camera while walking.
Tyondai Braxton, Ian Williams and Dave Konopka all zoom full-speed from the minute they hit the stage, manipulating enough equipment for three one-man bands.

France, Japan, Spain, Germany, all have trains that zoom through the countryside at speeds up to 217mph (350kph).
As with all online search technology, Zoom still suffers from garbage-in, garbage-out syndrome. (One out of those six results turned up a guy who lived in Florida.) Company searches can be even shoddier.
Equipped with a 24mm ultra-wide angle LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMARIT lens, the LUMIX FH8 and LUMIX FH6 offer an incredible 5x optical zoom with f2.5 brightness, all while maintaining a stylish, and slim camera body.
The grubby, high-ISO 1080i video above can't transmit this experience -- all we could do is zoom in on a detail and then zoom out again to show how small a proportion it was of the total image.

For all its innovative sexiness, there was no flash, no zoom, and transferring pictures to your computer was slower than installing Windows.
It's not all touchscreen, though -- several buttons (controlling a pop-up flash, power, zoom toggle, and shutter release) are also part of the somewhat bulky build.
