BEST PREMIUM SUPERZOOM CAMERAS
The Leica V-LUX 3 (24x zoom) and the Fujifilm X-S1 (26x zoom) are premium priced superzoom bridge cameras selling for $800. Though the Leica V-LUX 3 is also sold as the Panasonic FZ150 for a lot less money, the question remains—if you are going to spend $800 on a premium superzoom bridge, does the Fuji beat the Leica for the same money? And if the Leica is the winner, shouldn’t you simply buy the Panasonic FZ150 instead and pocket the $400+ price difference? We will get this sorted out this month and add a new shootout category for premium superzooms.
MID-RANGE DSLRS under $1000
At the moment, the 24 MP Sony a65 holds top honors as the best all around DSLR for under $1000, but the new 18 MP Canon T4i, at $949 with kit zoom lens may give it a run for the money. This model will be added to the shootout of DSLRs under $1000 soon. But for now you can take a quick pixel peep at how they look side by side:
PhotoScope: Compare Sony a65 vs Canon T4i
COMPACT SUPERZOOM CAMERA UPDATE
The Compact Superzoom shootout covers eight popular models currently on the market, and leading the pack as the best overall is the Panasonic ZS20. But the Sony HX30V has arrived, and we will add it to the competition shortly. Will Sony finally deliver a compact superzoom that beats the Panasonic, or does cramming 18 megapixels onto that tiny sensor still create problems? Stay tuned.
