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 1 of 4

Sony launched a bunch of hard-drive- and flash-based camcorders at CES 2009. The top-of-the-line DCR-SX60 has 16GB of internal flash memory and will sell for about $400 come March when they hit. The spec-comparable DCR-SR67 arrives in February and has an 80GB hard drive for $450. Both have 2.7-inch touch-screen LCDs, 60x optical zooms with Steady Shot image stabilization, and storage can be expanded with Memory Sticks. And they're both available in red, blue, and silver, so color's not even an issue. There will be two smaller-capacity models are available for both lines and all feature the 60x optical zoom.
