Photo How To

Exploring Superzoom Camera Features

Shutterbug Staff | Jun 17, 2019

Because superzoom cameras—those chunky point-and-shoots that have zoom lenses that go from here to the Andromeda galaxy built-in—are so popular with our readers, we did something entirely new for Shutterbug. We created five separate superzoom how-to stories, each focusing on a single type of photography.
