Wikipedia
Superzoom
A superzoom or ultrazoom lens is a type of photographic zoom lens with unconventionally large focal length factors, typically ranging from wide angle to extreme long lens focal lengths in one lens. There is no clear definition of a superzoom lens, but the name generally covers lenses that have a range well above the 3× or 4× of a standard zoom lens, with lenses being 10×, 12×, 18×, or above considered superzoom.Due to trade-offs in the optical design, superzoom lenses are noted for having poorer optical quality at the extreme focal length ranges, mostly distortion at max wide angle and long lens ranges. The long focal lengths normally have to be combined with image stabilization.

Superzoom
The term superzoom or hyperzoom refers to photographic zoom lenses with unconventionally large focal length factors, typically more than 5× or even ranging beyond 15×. The largest ratio for a digital SLR camera lens is held by the Nikon DX format 18–300 mm, giving 16.7×. Some bridge digital cameras have even larger zoom ratios up to 50×. The Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom smartphone has optical zoom lens 10x with "zoom ring" and optical image stabilization, For movie and television use, Panavision holds the record with their 300X HD Lens with Compound Zoom Technology. While superzoom lenses have improved greatly in recent years, they still have a number of drawbacks in comparison with shorter-range zooms and prime lenses. Most notable is the typically smaller maximum aperture. There is also an increased likelihood of significant distortion and other optical aberrations of the image at both extreme ends of the range.
