Top 3 Superzoom Cameras Under 25K
By: Gagan Gupta   |   Sep 19, 2006

Compact cameras are great these days, but if you're really getting into photography, it's time for you to move to the next level.

Superzoom cameras are called so because of their extraordinary optical zoom levels. But that's not all; they offer a lot more manual options than your standard compact, and they also give you an overall better picture quality and better colors, thanks to their more well-defined optics, and when it comes to features, they give you a great bang for your buck. Oh, and they look cool too.

The best part is that even with all these features, the Superzooms don't really get too complicated for a casual user. You have options to start using it as a point-and-click, and take your time experimenting with it's settings, till you figure it out. They're great if you want to learn a bit more about the essentials of photography or if you simply wish to have more control over your snapshots.

Here are some great options in Superzoom digital cameras you can consider if you think you're ready to move on.

Panasonic DMC-FZ7

The Panasonic series of Superzoom cameras have been universally appreciated, because of one simple reason — it works! The camera feels great because of it's great size and its fast performance. The picture quality is sharp and accurate, and the image stabilization at 12X zoom level is arguably the best in it's range.

FZ7 shoots at 6 megapixels (2560x1920 pixels), and saves images in JPEG or TIFF format. The TIFF option is a great substitute for RAW files that you find in professional cams, as it saves the image in a lossless file format.

On the negative side the noise levels are a bit higher than usual at lower ISO sensitivity levels, which is especially noticeable in low-light situations. Still, that takes little away from this otherwise great option for a Superzoom. At Rs 20,995 it'll surely give you your money's worth.

Be it any brand but when it comes to digital cameras nikon is the best, its there core business friends.It might be expensive but class apart.The pro use nikon only.Check out garam masala ,no entry or go and visit any studio.Nikon rocks because of its technology.They are the undisputed leaders in imaging industry.

All the 3 camersa are great . But in my opinoion the panasonic models are superior to the either canon or sony due to greater versitality.

If one is looking for a real value add then blindly go for the panasonic fz-7. Its got the worldwide acclaimed leica lens. Besides its got the best ois(object image stabilization). 12x zoom. Real sharp images. Long battery life. Cheaper spares such as battery and memory. Service centres in india.....

in fact, i am currently in japan and here the fz-7 has clearly won the competition. Sony h5 is the loser. The fz7 was out of stock recently due to the amazing demand it has got.

i have been using the fz7 since the last 5 months and it is real value for money, i can say.

Sama, Kolkata @ Sep 14, 2006
Canon S3 IS (and also its predecessor S2 IS) also supports full 12X zoom with Image stabilization while video shooting. Where as the article is suggesting that this feature is only present in the Sony H5.
Akhilesh Singh @ Sep 14, 2006

Luis da Silva @ Sep 13, 2006
You can try Ebay India.
Alok Gaikwad @ Sep 13, 2006
Price tag of Canon S3IS is Rs 26,500/- at Kolkata. It appears to be a great camera. However, I have not yet seen Panasonic DMC FZ7. I am unable to locate any dealer of Panasonic in Kolkata. Could you help ?
