You may want to consider the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 or Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3. According to the specs it can record up to 75 minutes of video. As for zoom, with cameras with interchangeable lenses, it will depend on the lens and they are not rated as 10x or 12x or any other x. It has more to do with focal length.
