List of superzoom compact cameras

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of superzoom compact cameras, also known as travel zoom cameras.[1][2] These are small fixed-lens "point-and-shoot" digital cameras that have a high optical zoom ratio.

Canon PowerShot SX720 HS

These cameras all include a power zoom lens that retracts into the body when not in use, along with an automatic lens cover or lens cap. Models that include an electronic viewfinder (EVF) have it offset to the side in the style of a rangefinder camera. Their pocketable form factor differentiates them from bulkier DSLR-style bridge cameras.

It is exceedingly difficult to construct a compact lens with such high zoom ratios, which means that the longest zoom lenses may not be the sharpest. For example, the Sony RX100 VII (8×) is sharper than the Panasonic ZS200 (15×), and the Sony HX99 (30×) is sharper than the Canon SX740 (40×).

The Olympus Stylus 1 is essentially the same camera as the Casio EX-100 except in a DSLR-style body with an EVF, which makes the Stylus 1 a bridge camera.

Small sensor compact cameras with at least 30× zoom

See also: Small sensor bridge cameras with at least 60× zoom

There are far too many small sensor compact cameras with less than 30× zoom to list here. Each of the following models contains a 1/2.3-type ("1/2.3-inch") image sensor with a crop factor of 5.6.
