Hands-on at CES 2014: A bridge camera with huge 42x optical zoom

We don’t expect photographic miracles from a camera like the Panasonic Lumiz LZ40. It’s not a camera designed for people who care about image quality first and foremost. However, we can’t deny that the focal length is impressive.

42x optical zoom lens ; 22mm wide-angle equivalent ; Excellent macro mode ; Reasonable value for money ; Manual controls

Non-standard USB charging cable - not MicroUSB ; No electronic viewfinder ; Panoramic images are very low resolution ; Noise visible in all images
