superzoom
Camera's long reach
Superzoom describes a camera or lens with an exceptionally wide zoom range, typically covering everything from wide-angle to extreme telephoto in a single unit: a superzoom bridge camera, a superzoom travel lens.
The term emphasizes versatility over image quality—superzooms sacrifice some optical performance for convenience.
Also used as a noun for such cameras or lenses.
