zoom when taking a picture like on the S3?

You can, it's under the settings (gear icon in camera mode), you may need to scroll up on the settings though.

I must be blind cause I can't find any icon in the camera settings that makes any reference to making the volume switch control camera zoom!

Sorry, it's a bit superimposed, but I was trying to get a screenshot of the pop up, hopefully you can see it. There is a button if you go into the settings, click and hold then drag the buttons up. After that, you are looking for a button labeled Volume Key. Mine is set to Take Pictures, but on the superimposed part, that is the menu that pops up when you click the volume key button. It has the 3 options that are showing on my screenshot (Take Pictures, Record Video, Zoom).

I checked the manual here http://www.att.com/support_static_files/manuals/Samsung_Galaxy_S5.pdf and it doesn't appear the AT&T S5 has it. I'm on Sprint and mine does. Sorry AT&T folks!
