About this model

Its 25–525mm equivalent lens covers wide-angle landscapes through to distant subjects, making it a simple step up from a phone or compact for travel, wildlife and family events. The 14-megapixel CCD sensor and 3-inch LCD keep operation straightforward, with automatic scene modes doing most of the work. Power comes from four AA batteries, so you can carry spares or buy replacements anywhere. It is a light, easy-to-use camera for anyone who wants a long zoom without the cost or complexity of a DSLR.
