Photos: Crazy-long ultrasupermegazooms
Whatever you want to call them, cameras and camcorders with ultrazoom lenses are popular to the point where they're becoming better for marketing a camera than resolution, LCD size, or ISO. Here are the latest models from CES 2009 to sport double-digit zooms.photo 3 of 4
Featuring a "world's first" optical zoom of 70x, the Panasonic SDR-H80 and SDR-H90 should be a prime choice for sports fans, wildlife lovers, and astronomy aficionados alike. Good thing they use Panasonic's advanced O.I.S. system (optical image stabilization) to reduce hand-shake by way of lens-shifting gyrosensors. The H80 will run $449.95 and be available in silver, blue, red, and black. The H90 is in black only for $499.95. Both show up in April 2009.
