New: Nikon may also announce a new super-zoom compact Coolpix P4000 camera with 24-4800mm f/3.8-10 lens (200x zoom), 1.5kg. weight, 3.5" LCD screen and magnesium body. After the success of the P9000 (out of stock everywhere), it is very likely that Nikon will introduce another super-zoom model.
I use a Pentax Q in this way, 5.56 crop factor and then a bit more in PP. The small sensor has disadvantages though. ISO 400 is the max for highest IQ.It uses digital pre-cropping in combination with a crop sensor which delivers a rather massive (FX) equivalent. We can do the same (but limited) with any DSLR but have to do it in post. When I start cropping I use a somewhat similar principle as a digital zoom to go from 300mm to 600mm to 1200mm.
The more pixels on that sensor, the more we can digitally "zoom".
