  • Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR

    The S200EXR stands on its own as a hybrid between a superzoom and SLR, with a 14.3x optical zoom lens and Fuji's Super CCD sensor. Expect great pictures but be prepared for backaches.

    Specs: Digital SLR , 12 megapixels, 2.7 inch, 14.3 x

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35

    The FZ35 should be at the top of any potential superzoom buyer's list, with a fully featured specification sheet and good image quality.

    Specs: Prosumer , 12.1 megapixels, 2.7 inch, 18 x

  • Olympus Mju Tough 6010

    The 6010 does exactly what it says on the tin and takes photos in extreme circumstances. It's unfortunate that they're not the best photos they could be.

    Specs: Digital compact , 12 megapixels, 2.7 inch
