These powerful compact cameras offer a lot of optical-zoom range, and they're a very versatile style of point-and-shoot. The 20X-zoom Canon PowerShot SX260 HS is the new king of the category, but it has several excellent competitors.
If you're trying to decide between this model and its slightly lower-priced cousin, the HP Photosmart 5520, note that the Photosmart 6520 has a bigger touchscreen control panel and a dedicated photo tray.
Pros Superior image and video quality; Optical viewfinder; Easy to use; Superb blend of automated and manual controls; Adjustable, swiveling LCD screen; Fun-to-use creative scene modes Cons Maximum aperture of F2.8; A bit bulky

Pros Wide array of options for any level of shooter; Very good image and video quality; Well-stabilized 20X zoom lens (25mm to 500mm) Cons No RAW mode; Mediocre battery life, especially with GPS Logger
