Many picture buffs like myself are torn between the weight, expense and size of many digital SLR's, and the increasing power and convenience of the near SLR portables. Hardcore travelers like myself know the convenience of throwing a camera in a case or backpack, and the hassle that the weight, care and feeding of an SLR can pose on such trips.
Fortunately, what I've seen so far is that the high quality of zoom shots is setting a brand new standard with this new camera from Canon. Earlier "super-zoom" models, or those with zooms in excess of 10x or 12x, suffered from image quality problems as long zooms strained the limits of the tiny processors needed to capture light and reduce the effects of vibration. All these negative effects increase exponentially with each increase in zoom power. It used to be that only the large lenses and higher sensitivity power of expensive SLR's solved this problem.
Processor sensitivity has finally caught up with the portable 20x optical zoom. Finally 100mm zoom power, without SLR expense and weight.
