Nikon’s new P510 superzoom crams 1000mm and 42x optical zoom of super telephoto capability into a compact camera, the longest optical zoom ever stuffed into a compact camera. The P500 the 510′s replacing is 36x, and Canon’s PowerShot SX40 HS comes in at 35x.
A superzoom camera that makes sense to me. The SX1 eschews a crazy megapixel count with its 10MP CMOS sensor that pulls double duty delivering 1080p HD video recording with a 20x-wide angle zoom lens.
