I used to have an ultrazoom fixed-lens digicam myself, BK --- well, quite a few, in fact -- the Panasonic FZ10, FZ20, and two FZ30s. What I really liked about them was that they were portable, which really helped when I went hiking/backpacking. The IQ wasn't bad, either -- unless you wanted to shoot in ISOs higher than 200. And that's the main reason why I went DSLR, as I print my images out to 13 x 19 for display where I work. I see you have the FZ18, which is a fine ultrazoom. These are some fine bird shots you've got. And though I've Gone Big with the 500 f/4, I do sometimes hanker for not carrying 10 pounds of camera equipment around my neck Keep up the good "Fluzi" work!

Great pics. I'm in the same boat. I sold my DSLR and can't afford another one yet. I use the pany fz-28 and i'm very happy with the image quality. I even bump down to 7mp to get 577mm of zoom and still the iq is great.
I do really miss my 400mm F5.6L
Here is a Pine Siskin I took this weekend. 577mm 7mp, ISO 100, ss 1/160th. maybe a tad underexposed.
Enjoy very much looking at your work. You can publish a book with all the great P+S you got, would definitely stand out in the bookrack if promoted with the P+S twist.

Thanks wing tong, I will plan for it http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff238/bklimbk/P1420226.jpg
you do extremely well with you P&S camera. But if I may suggest - - the greens look strange at times. You may wish to keep an eye on them. Too saturated I'd say - past that I'm impressed with your P&S shooting skills.
