Canon has revealed its next pair of superzoom compact cameras, one of which, the PowerShot SX500 IS, is the smallest snapper in the world to tote a 30x optical zoom lens.

The other model, the PowerShot SX160 IS, rocks a 16x optical zoom. Both feature a new 16-megapixel sensor, 3-inch LCD, image stabilisation to counter shaky hands and 720p HD movie capture.
