Editors' Comments
A slight downgrade from the more advanced SP-570 UZ, the Olympus SP-565 UZ retains the incredible 20x optical zoom, but what's missing are the extra features: no RAW file format, smaller LCD display, smaller ISO range, etc. Besides the aforementioned zoom capability, the SP-565 UZ has full manual controls to give the user complete control, but with dual-image stabilization and face detection, the camera provides some welcome assistance.

Best Extended Zoom Cameras | Digital Camera HQ's Buyer's Guide
These extended zoom cameras make excellent gifts for budding photographers interested in gaining more experience with advanced techniques. They're not as complicated or as expensive as high-end dSLRs and require no interchangeable lenses. They offer long-range zooms, wide-angle lenses, and plenty of manual control so the shooter can have a say in how their photos look. Each of these cameras provides an excellent opportunity for someone to really step up one's game.
