CNET editors' buying advice
We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Digital cameras. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of digital camera.
Full body camera
Zoom lens reflex cameras (sometimes referred to as ZLRs, megazooms, ultrazooms, or bridge cameras) are designed to be an intermediate step between compact digital cameras and dSLRs. They are larger than compacts but offer more versatile manual controls and lens systems, including greater zoom capability. Unlike the typical digital SLR, they do not have interchangeable lenses, but filters and adapters can be used on many megazoom cameras. The sensor size in this type of digital camera is smaller than in a dSLR, which limits the range of ISO settings.

Image stabilization (Anti-shake)
When using handheld cameras at slow shutter speeds, or with high optical zoom, image stabilization (aka anti-shake) will help with capturing sharper images. There are two types of image stabilization, optical and electronic. Electronic, or digital, stabilization works by shifting pixels within the image frame to interpolate sharpness. Optical sharpness is attained by physical movement within either the camera body or the lens element, which compensates for handheld shaking. Of the two, optical is generally considered more favorable by most photographers.
