| Bottom line | 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. | If you simply must have the longest zoom in the room, the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS satisfies. | 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. | 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 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. |
