All the decent super-zooms are going to 1" sensors, I don't see the point of having a 1/2.3" sensor in a body that's as big as a DSLR. I guess Olympus doesn't see the point either.

However, there are no 1" sensor super-zoom cameras.

These guys must have got the specs wrong: http://www.techradar.com/news/photography-video-capture/cameras/best-bridge-camera-1259503

Lets see:

  • The first 4 cameras (Sony RX10-IV, Panasonic FZ2500, Panasonic FZ1000, Sony RX10-III) use a 1" sensor.  The Sonys have an equivalent focal length of 600mm (as I said), and the Panasonics have 480mm/400mm;
  • The remaining 6 cameras (Canon PowerShot SX60 HS, Panasonic Lumix FZ80, Nikon Coolpix P900, Panasonic Lumix FZ70, Nikon Coolpix B700, and Sony Cyber-shot HX400V) all use the 1/2.3" sensor, and all have equivalent focal lengths from 1200mm to 2000mm.

as well as these guys: https://www.dpreview.com/products/sony/compacts/sony_dscrx10iv/specifications .

That is the Sony RX10 IV mentioned above with a 600mm equivalent focal length.
