If you're interested in small size and big telephoto, the Olympus C-700 has 10x optical and 2.7X digitial zoom, for a ~35-1000mm lens in a very compact package. 2.1 mega pixels. Got one, like it alot. (batteries are the only drawback, the Olympus lithiums are between 10 and 15 dollars each and you need two, for about 150 pictures, it will suck alkaline AAs dry real fast)

I am not familiar with this model, but I found that the display screen is what really eats into your battery life. I forbid my wife from using it to take pictures and cut the power consumption down tremendously.
