Pre-order new Canon SX540 HS ($400) and SX420 IS ($300) superzooms [no RAW]

While the new Panasonic superzooms are coming with RAW out of the box, Canon’s CES 2016 camera were RAWless. They revealed new Elphs along with the two superzooms without RAW. They are:

+ SX540 HS (50x optical) for $400 at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself

+ SX420 IS (42x optical) for $300 at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself

+ in a digital world where naming consistency is a rarity, Canon continues to consistently uses “IS” for CCD-based Powershots and “HS” for CMOS-based Powershots

+ interesting new cameras announced at CES 2016 are being added to the Cameras of 2016 Reference page

Pre-order Panasonic ZS60 (1/2.x”, 30x, RAW) for $450

In a camera world full of 1/2.3″ fixed lens camera models, RAW can be a difference maker, assuming one understands that there’s only so much one can squeeze out of a 1/2.x” sensor and superzoom lens. Which brings us to the new brand new Panasonic ZS60 with a 1/2.3″ sensor and RAW and 30x optical zoom lens available in silver or black (but sadly no Raiders edition – maybe if they move to Los Angeles?) for pre-order for $450 at Amazon itself and Adorama and B&H Photo… This too has been added to the New Cameras of 2016 reference page
