| The Bottom Line | If you're after a wide and long lens and excellent photo quality, the Canon PowerShot SX40 HS is a standout. In features, design, and performance, though, it's a bit lacking. | If you simply must have the longest zoom in the room, the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS satisfies. | It has its limitations, but the Canon PowerShot SX500 IS is a good choice for zoom addicts on a budget. | 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. | A lot of camera, both in lens and features, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V is a solid choice for point-and-shoot users looking to do a little more than that. | Basic specs |
