Scroll down the page and it gives product discription Samsung White HMX-F90 HD Camcorder with 52x Optical Zoom, 2.7" LCD Display Remember though,if you try to zoom in x52 at some person 200 feet away it will not be clear and at that setting you need to have it on a tripod. I did read a car tag number at x52 1/4 mile away with no problem. I took a video of the giant Super moon we had at the first part of augest. It's nice but has no way to hook a MIC cord to it. I play a guitar and that is a CON for me but I made up my own from a China made Speaker./MIC. It has no flash and it has no light on the swing out screen but almost everything I filmed was under most lighting conditions. I posted a URL for a girl here and she was impressed. Excellent for U tube also. Price went down so it's worth every penny. Some others say it cannot be charged with an A/C adapter but I have one here that says 120 Volts in and 5 volts out. Batteries come from China so the wait is long. There are other on line venders that sell them and one is in NY but I lost the mail from them. You'll love it BOB LECH AF2Q

No the camera doesn´t have ZOOM, I download software camera zoom fx and with this software the camera has zoom.

I've never used the Zoom but it looks like it has mics and storage for the recording. The Art solves a different problem as it is a DAC: it is converting 2 channels of analog to digital and 2 channels of digital to analog. The analog connections are XLR and 1/4"; digital is a USB to your computer. It has no mics and no storage.

Some basic zoom - maybe X4. The Zoom has great sound capture and adequate video. I use mine to capture lectures etc and its perfect for that use.

If you go to cnet, they have a more detailed comparison between the two. I'll try a link here...http://www.cnet.com.au/camcorders/0,239035877,339272971,00.htm

Yes to both questions. A major down fall for this camera is the zoom in. It is absolutely HORRIBLE.

Thanks for the info Corey! I agree that zooming during recording can get a bit nauseating if done too much/too fast but it is a nice feature to have in certain instances. At least the zoom works before/after like it does on my old 3.2MP Cyber-shot. Thanks for clearing that up.

The zoom is manual. You set it when you hang the camera. It has a BNC female for the composite video out. I have two (of a 12 cam system) and they are wonderful.

Depends on what you're gonna use it for. I film wildlife with mine at distances up to 400 yards. I would have paid the extra $$$ in a heartbeat for more zoom. The wifi I could care less about. I do love the G20 though, it's been a great camera.

No there is no zoom, you can set the resolution for 1600x1200, 1280x960, 640x480, 320x240 and 160x120. It has a self timer, flash, brightness control, white balance, color effects and multishots and also night mode. I hope this helps you some, if you have any more questions please feel free to ask!

The camera so far has been great. However the zoom is not at all impressive. IMO the zoom is about equal to what you see with your eyes and wider. I think that is 1:1. Hope this helps.

4x, which is a little bit of magnification. The zoom is not an adjustable amount by the way.

I own (and LOVE!) this camera and zoom during video recording all the time. It does takes a split second to re-focus however...

I haven't used the video all that much but seems OK to me. Yes, you can zoom in and out during video recording.

I have no idea! 16 reviews. Poof! Gone. I spent a lot of time and effort on my review of this camcorder, trying to be informative and helpful but it will be the last review I write on Amazon if the reviews for this camcorder are not restored.

It has a viewfinder. As mentioned below this is an old model and there are newer ones from both Sony and Canon that have viewfinders. I have been very happy with my HRD-CX550V. It was logical choice when I bought it 3 years ago for a quality camcorder with a large amount of internal flash and SD card storage. While most current Sony and Canon have less internal flash, they do accept the largest capacity SDXC cards that are available in larger capacities than this model. I considered having a viewfinder important and still do because of difficulty seeing a pop out screen in bright light.
