best super zooms

Electronic eye viewfinder is very low res and very small.

Very good electronic view finder, best I've seen on a point and shoot.

It's also very pleasing to find a viewfinder – here electronic (EVF) – which is 0.21" in size, offers 100% field of view and now has a much improved resolution of 1,312K dots, a big advance on previous FZ models.

The EVF likewise is surprisingly sharp and clear giving close to 100% view of the scene.

Finder screen clarity and resolution is very high, zoom optics deliver across the full range, shake-stop works well.

Add in the 3D Sweep Panoramas and 3D Still Images, amazing 10fps burst shooting mode, 0.13 second auto-focusing, closer macro mode, extensive range of in-camera Picture effects and the high-resolution 921K dot LCD screen, and it's still easy for us to recommend the Sony CyberShot DSC-HX20V above all of its travel-zoom rivals.

The interface was well thought out and the playback and screen quality is very good and I haven't even used the highest screen resolution.

Overall, it is a nice camera with some cool features, but I sometimes like to look through the viewfinder when I take pictures.

Its huge zoom range is equivalent to a 24-1000mm zoom on a 35mm camera.
