You can record VGA 640 x 480, 640 x 480 long, or QVGA 320 x 240 motion video with audio. The length of the movies is dependent on available space on your memory card. The optical zoom works while recording but you can hear a slight motor whine from it on audio. There is also an optional image stabilizer, but it will decrease video quality slightly.
