| Bottom line | As long as you have plenty of light, the Nikon Coolpix L120 is a nice camera for snapshooters in love with long lenses. | It has its limitations, but the Canon PowerShot SX500 IS is a good choice for zoom addicts on a budget. | The Canon PowerShot SX260 HS' wider, longer lens, a few much-needed design tweaks, and excellent photo quality add up to one pretty great compact megazoom. | The Nikon Coolpix P510 is easy to recommend for its features, photos, and performance, but the usefulness of a 42x zoom lens is debatable. |
