super zoom digital cameras

[stensonlad]

Can anyone tell me which super zoom digital camera is one of the best on the market at the moment. a lot of reviews say CANON POWERSHOT S3 but i can't seem to get it , all the shops say it has been discontinued.
Can you suggest something equally as good!

I've been pretty happy with an olympus 550UZ,which has a 15x zoom,and I've had good reports on Panasonic models.Sometimes it is more useful to have a good wide angle,depends what your subjects are

7dayshop.com are offering a Panasonic Lumix TZ3 ,7.2 megapixel,10x zoom plus image stabilisation,with good wide angle at lower zoom end,�173.95.Sounds worth looking into.

Following on from ianmunt, I bought a Panasonic TZ3 about 4 months ago - wonderful. Great zoom, easy to use, superb pics. Best Digital Camera i have owned. Good luck.

Panasonic and Olympus and I think Fuji now do 18x zooms, though I have yet to buy one. meanwhile I've got a Panasonic 12x zoom and love it. Incidentally, only count optical zoom; digital zoom is a waste of time.
