While Fujifilm's new HS10 camera with its 30x lens has been grabbing the recent super-zoom headlines, the less flashy but much cheaper S2500HD model certainly shouldn't be overlooked. Competitively priced at less than £200 / $225, the 12 megapixel S2500HD offers a still-versatile 18x lens, 3 inch LCD screen, full manual control and, as the name suggests, 720p HD movie recording. Read the World's first online Fujifilm FinePix S2500HD review now.

Compact Camera Group Test: SLR-like 'super zoom' cameras
3.8

It's now more than a year since we published our last superzoom group test and despite the hype surrounding mirrorless system cameras such as Micro Four Thirds or the Sony NEX, and the fact that entry level DSLRs are becoming more and more affordable, superzoom cameras are as popular with consumers as ever. It is easy to see why. The combination of a large zoom range from wideangle to super telephoto, DSLR-like ergonomics and an attractive price point guarantee that these cameras appeal to a very broad audience.
