Comic: The Crazy Reach of Superzoom Cameras
Here’s a new comic by xkcd about the rise of compact cameras with ridiculous zooms. Titled “Superzoom,” the hidden caption reads: “*click* Let him know he’s got a stain on his shirt, though.”
To understand what the comic above is about, just take a look at the viral videos that P900 owners have shared over the past year — from showing how far the camera reaches into the horizon, to showing the moon moving across the sky, to zooming from a parking lot and into the moon:
Pretty impressive, considering the fact that the P900 is a small consumer camera that can be purchased for $600.
