| Bottom line | Even for a full-featured megazoom camera at a low price, the Fujifilm FinePix S1500 delivers average photo quality and mixed performance. | It has its limitations, but the Canon PowerShot SX500 IS is a good choice for zoom addicts on a budget. | A low-cost way to get an 18x wide-angle lens, the Fujifilm FinePix S2950 delivers merely OK photos and shooting performance. | The GE X500 megazoom is a very good value as long as you understand its photo and performance limitations. | Though nothing extraordinary, the Nikon Coolpix L610 is a decent entry-level compact camera that shoots slightly above its price. |
