A few days ago I was rushing to take a picture of kids goofing around in the pool, pulled my little Canon SD1200 out of its case and took my shot. Then I fumbled. I don\u2019t know exactly what happened, but in my rush I didn\u2019t loop the camera restraint around my wrist and somehow I dropped it with the zoom lens extended (3x optical zoom) and the camera landed on the concrete patio and dented the lens. So now it won\u2019t retract and I get a message that there is a lens error (duh) and I should restart the camera. But that didn\u2019t work, so the camera is toast.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?t=digitalpho00b-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=12&amp;l=ur1&amp;category=electronics&amp;f=ifr\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" align=\"left\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\"><\/iframe> My SD1200 was a decent but not great, very convenient little point-and-shoot that fit easily into my pocket or purse. It was much handier to carry around vs. my bigger, heavier camera. The thing that bugged me the most though, was the measly 4x optical zoom. That just isn\u2019t enough for me, because I really like to be able to zoom in and it\u2019s not always possible to get closer to a subject (unless I wanted to jump in the aforementioned pool with the kids).<\/p>\n<h2>The Search for a New Point-and-Shoot with Bigger Zoom<\/h2>\n<p>So now, whether I like it or not, I get a re-do. Actually a re-buy. My wish is for a pocket-sized point-and shoot that takes great pictures, is easy to operate, in the $200-range, and has a better zoom capability. Am I dreaming? Maybe not. I have been looking at a few options that seem kind of interesting and they get good reviews.<\/p>\n<p>Four and five times optical zoom seems to be the average for compact digital cameras these days. I want to see if I can do better without sacrificing quality or portability. I found some available with 8X zoom. That is pretty good for a pocket camera. So my search at this point has narrowed to several options:<\/p>\n<h2>Panasonic Lumix ZS20 14.1 MP High Sensitivity MOS Digital Camera with 20x Optical Zoom<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/panasonic-lumix-zs203.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-558\" style=\"margin: 6px;\" title=\"panasonic-lumix-zs20\" src=\"http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/panasonic-lumix-zs203.jpg\" alt=\"Panasonic Lumix ZX20\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/panasonic-lumix-zs203.jpg 400w, http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/panasonic-lumix-zs203-300x187.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00728ZBA2\/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00728ZBA2&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=digitalpho00b-20\">Panasonic Lumix ZS20<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=digitalpho00b-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00728ZBA2\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/> is a pretty nifty point-and-shoot 14.1 MP camera with an amazing 20x optical zoom packed into a body that is only 1.1 inches thick and weighs 7.2 ounces. It has an ultra wide-angle 24mm lens that zooms to 480mm, which is an awesome range for its size. It has very good optical image stabilization called POWER O.I.S., which is important with that kind of zoom. It offers fast shooting performance and good low-light image quality. It has semi-manual and manual shooting modes and GPS. It records full HD 1,920 x 1,080 30p (NTSC) videos in MP4 format. You can even use the full 20x zoom while recording video.<\/p>\n<p>It has a nice <strong>\u00a0<\/strong>3.0-inch, 460K-dot Smart Touch-screen, but if you use the touch screen a lot it eats battery. \u00a0The one other thing I am not crazy about is that the battery must be charged while in the camera via a USB cable to a wall charger. Why Panasonic made this change, I don\u2019t know. However, I have another Panasonic camera and apparently I can use the old dedicated charger with this camera. I like having a separate charging dock so I can keep a spare: drop in a fully charged battery and use the camera while I recharge the other one.<\/p>\n<h3>Sturdily Built<\/h3>\n<p>This camera seems pretty sturdy. In fact, one Amazon reviewer said they dropped the camera from five stories and it still worked. Seeing as I have a history of dropping things, that\u2019s my kind of camera. It\u2019s only available in black and silver (so what, for a good camera I will sacrifice not having a \u201cfun\u201d color). And the price? I saw it on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00728ZBA2\/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00728ZBA2&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=digitalpho00b-20\">Amazon<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=digitalpho00b-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00728ZBA2\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/> for about $249 recently.

What I like about it is the small size, the 8x optical zoom that has a 28-244mm (35mm equivalent) field of view, excellent image quality and its ability to capture HD video at 1080p. It\u2019s a speedy camera with good low-light performance. It also has a bright 3-inch screen. While I have read some great reviews from users who love it, others have said it is \u201ccheap and disappointing\u201d with bad shutter lag. Hmm. It got the Editor\u2019s Choice from PC Mag, and they said test shots produced \u201cvery respectable\u201d shutter lag of 0.3 seconds.\u00a0 There is a newer model of this camera available, but they have downgraded the zoom to 5x and added wi-fi.<\/p>\n<h2>Canon Powershot A4000 IS<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/canon-powershot-a4000is.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-553\" title=\"canon-powershot-a4000is\" src=\"http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/canon-powershot-a4000is.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/canon-powershot-a4000is.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.digitalphotos101.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/canon-powershot-a4000is-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>You can pick up this baby at Walmart or Amazon for as little as $159.

It does have a couple of issues, though, it is a bit slow to start up and at high ISOs in order to keep noise low you lose quite a bit of image detail. It has a 3-inch LCD with 230 dots, which is ok but not great viewing resolution. Still, if you are on a budget this is a good little camera.<\/p>\n<p>So, here are three possibilities. I haven&#8217;t made my decision yet but at this point I am leaning toward the Panasonic.
