I am not sure on the movies, but my G6 will zoom and auto-focus during movies. The G7 is brand new, so the manual is not even available online yet, but Canon says on their web page for the G7 that the manual will be available in October.

i think G6 only takes 30secs or 3min per clip correct? will this one have the same limitation?r will it be able to continue taking (without breaking the clips) as long as there is room on the SD?

also does it work with 8G SD - i saw ad's by Pretec or Transcent.

one more question, what are the differences between 4G SDHC and just 4G SD?

Viva -- you're right about the movie length on the G6. I took a few on a vacation last year and I guess they weren't that long :-). I checked the specs and they give numbers for total number of minutes (or seconds -- they don't say) of movies as a whole, but then go on to explain that clips can only be short, as you point out.

The page I linked above has a link that describes the new movie mode and it "suggests" that in some modes you can take movies up to an hour long.

I would bet that it will work with large SD cards, but can't say for sure.

Hi, I noticed that you havent marked any replies as the best answer. Are you still looking for an answer? If so, I recommend you re-submit it on Digitalcamera-hq.com so it will have a better chance of being noticed. These days it looks like most questions are being answered within a few days. Good luck

The g7 is said to be capable of up to 32min/4gb in a single movie. Don't know if this is based on the fact that 4gb cards are currently the biggest.

Whether the g7 can take an 8gb card, and whether this would double the potential length of a film, I'm not sure.

The manual is still not posted as far as I can see, it will be on if and when it is posted.
