| The Bottom Line | A decent but not great camera, the megazoom Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 still manages to outdo its few competitors. | A decent but not great camera, the megazoom Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 still manages to outdo its few competitors. | A better-than-average megazoom choice, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 delivers standout video capabilities and an excellent manual feature set. Still, it suffers from a lot of the same drawbacks as its competitors, including weak photo quality. | A nice evolution of the megazoom, the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS delivers some improvements over its predecessor and provides an attractive option for megazoom shooters. | If you don't mind its extra bulk and narrow lens, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an otherwise excellent compact megazoom camera. |
