Is there a canon or nikon DSLR that has motorized zoom, or are they all manual zoom on the lense?

There are bridge cameras that look like DSLR's with motorized zoom.

May I ask why you want motorized zoom?

I agree, motorized zooms are not useful with still photography, however they are very good with videos. They give you smooth zooms and steady shots.
