In the big book of hacky tech writer metaphors, any spec battle is discussed in warlike terms. As tired as this kind of reductive writing gets, it's actually a useful way to think about superzoom cameras—big, fixed-lens cameras that offer huge zoom ranges...

Canon's stretching its limits with the SX60 HS, but the results are hit and miss. As soon as we saw what Canon had done to the SX50 HS to make the new SX60 HS, our hearts sunk. There has been a very obvious performance gap at the telephoto end for cam...

One thing it lacks is the ability to capture lots of light – something that's been highlighted by two recent bridge cameras from Panasonic. First came the Panasonic FZ200 and its bright f/2.8 aperture. Then there's the Panasonic FZ1000 with its f/2.8-4 ap...

The battle of the bridge cameras used to be a two-horse race between the Canon SX50 HS's huge zoom and the Panasonic FZ200's constant f/2.8 aperture. However, with the Canon's focus deteriorating at the long end of its zoom, the Panasonic took a clear lea...
