G.O.T.Y. 2012: Super-zoom Digital Cameras

Like every year, this time too digital camera manufacturers battled primarily for one thing—to churn out a super-zoom camera that could zoom the farthest. This was quite evident with the launch of the Nikon Coolpix P510 that featured a 42x zoom lens, which was followed by the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS with a whopping 50x zoom. Then there were other models that focussed on a different aspect; for instance, the Samsung Galaxy Camera, which was an attempt to converge a super-zoom camera and the features of a high-end smartphone. Some brands even attempted to redefine the price band, which is why you can today buy a super-zoom for as less as Rs 10,000. We have listed all such models and compiled our G.O.T.Y. 2012: Super-zoom list. Let’s start with the ones that topped our chart.Click here for full story
