I'm not very good at that. They would just pile up. The only reason I'm 
likely to get rid of the A710 IS is because my nephew's camera broke, so 
my brother "loaned" his camera to him. the the brother needed a camera 
for his daughter's wedding in Italy, so I loaned him the A710. NOw I 
think he may buy it. And the F10 is still around as Carol Anne's camera 
for use when she doesn't have me around to take her images.

I'll take a closer look, but really the issue for me is one of personal 
preferences and ergonomics. The size, weight and shape of the superzooms 
make them not fit my needs. I've handled most of the superzooms, 
including the FZ18, and none are right for me so far.

If I can't carry it in my pocket or on my belt, I might as well carry a 
DSLR, with the much better IQ. So the issue of IQ between a superzoom 
and F30 or A650 means little to me. You obviously have different 
ergonomic preferences than I do.
