| Bottom line | More point-and-shoot than dSLR in terms of features and performance than some competing high-end megazooms, the Nikon Coolpix P520 is a very good camera for those after a big zoom range, better control over results, and fine picture quality. | If you simply must have the longest zoom in the room, the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS satisfies. | If you're searching for a long-zoom camera that falls in between a point-and-shoot and digital SLR experience, look no further than the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200. | It can't match some of its competition in the features department, but the
Sony Cyber-shot HX300 still packs a powerful zoom lens and plenty of point-and-shoot punch. | The Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR's features and performance are well beyond those of your average point-and-shoot megazoom, making it a fine choice for enthusiasts and as a family camera. |
