Fujifilm has just launched a strange new camera that has a built-in 32x optical zoom. On paper, the new SX400 sounds much like a bridge camera – but this is much bigger, and bulkier, and designed primarily for surveillance purposes and claims to be able to give clear images of subjects that are several kilometres away.
The lens is built using the lens technology used on its Fujinon broadcast zoom lens, and offers a focal length equivalent to 12.5-400mm with a maximum aperture that varies from f/2.8 to f/5.6 through the zoom range
