| Bottom line | The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40 is a solid megazoom, but its low-light photos need extra attention. | 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 has its limitations, but the Canon PowerShot SX500 IS is a good choice for zoom addicts on a budget. | As long as you're willing to work with raw image files, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 is one of the best full-size megazooms you can get. | The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20's 20x zoom lens might be the main attraction, but the camera is all-around excellent. |
