I swore that I'd never use a superzoom, but the Nikon Z 24-200mm changed my mind

Nikon Z5.

I've long shied away from superzooms, largely because what they give you in one hand – in the convenience of not having to change lenses – they take away with the other, with their distinctly average image quality.
