Interesting! I'm going to have to look this one up and read more. My 12-year old Fuji is nearing the end of its service life.
I find some of these amazing optical zooms fascinating, but I've always had my doubts as to what you can really expect from "125x" without spending $5000 or more on fancy glass. I'm not a pro by any means, but I do like a good zoom and top notch macro capabilities.
Thanks for your comment. Read carefully and watch lots of youtube, there's a lot to find about the superzooms. I can only speak for myself, but even though I'm used to superior image quality ... the camera has surprised me with its abilities and the quality. Its better than I expected, but of course not to compare with a DSLR or mirrorless camera.
Here's an example I tried for the full zoom. The first picture is the wide-angle (look really close, the horse from the second picture is in the first picture), and the second picture is the full zoom.
The quality is not the same as from a DSLR or mirrorless at full zoom or wide-angle, but for most people and for online usage like in a blog, it's decent enough for me to be happy with this.
