New "Bridge" Camera

[FIREWALLROB]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a super telephoto zoom to go places that my SLR and big lenses can't.

I'm looking at......

Panasonic FZ50
Fuji 9600 (9100)
Canon S5 IS

Any ideas ????? I think the Fuji MAY be a bit too short at the telephoto end ??

If zoom is what you want, don't forget this baby, Olympus SP-550 UZ, 28 - 504mm

for the small size, decent ISO performance and nice 2.5" articulating LCD it has to be the S5.

The excellent movie mode is also a big bonus.
