Top 5 mega-zoom digital cameras
- — 07 September, 2010 13:05
Compact digital cameras with a large zoom range are perfect for those of you who want to focus on the details of faraway subjects. They are perfect for travellers as they won't command as much space in a backpack as a digital SLR, and they can even be used in the backyard to get a close-up of your dog's face as he lounges in the sun, for example. Our top 5 has great ultra-zoom compact cameras from Canon, Panasonic, Nikon, Samsung and Sony.

If you're looking for a compact camera with a big zoom, the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ10 is a fine choice. It even includes a GPS receiver, so you can pin-point where you took a particular photo. Photos look good for the most part but suffer from softness and noise. The best aspects of the camera's image quality are its surprisingly shallow depth of field and bokeh patterning.
