What is the biggest factor in your purchase? Ease of use, zoom, settings?
There are several "super zoom" point and shoots out there. Right now I believe that Olympus has a 10 or 12 mp with 20x optical zoom. With the advanced point and shoots you are looking you may be able to find lens accessories that go with them also. I know that on my Canon I can buy a lens adapter and purchase filters, macro lenses, and tele photo lenses for it. Which sort of gives you the versatility of a DSLR without the $$$ outlay.
Go to dpreview.com and check the comparison pages there, it is a very useful site.
