What do you think about this one? Not water proof but has 20x zoom and image stabilizing.

Optical zoom lens is 28mm x 560mm and 12 MP

Would be good for long shots.



PS: I am getting a new Canon D10 WP for Christmas.

I guess it depends on the type of photography you plan to do with it, but a zoom that broad comes with a big penalty in image quality. If I was looking for a compact right now it would be hard to not go with the Canon G11.
