Re: choosing a travel zoom

"Also it doesn't say that the battery problems are fixed"

Read again carefully.  The exact words "prior to the fix" are used.    Add up the minutes recorded.   48 minutes of video, three of 16 minutes each, no problem.   Shooting stills in between.   Fourth video started, during the recording the battery icon starts flashing. That is the desired behavior.  The indicator is  giving us some warning the battery is reaching end of capacity. Completes the 16 minute run.  User shoots some more stills.   Then during the fifth video run, the battery is exhausted after six minutes.  Sure sounds fixed to me.
