Re: SZ-10 photo.

I also have an SZ-10... it is a neat little camera, which I've found works perfectly with my XZ-1 when I need that long telephoto (see below, taken from about 100' away at a baseball game, handheld, in the evening).

It was also useful recently when I was thinking about getting an SZ-31. Set myself to use the SZ-10 for a solid week, to see if I could really get to like the simplified non-PASM controls, as compared to the XZ-1. As it turned out, no, I personally am more comfortable with the XZ-1. But we are into individual preferences now. Both cameras are excellent and do exactly what they are supposed to do.

As for the noise from the SZ-10's small lens & sensor, well, it isn't much, unless you are in very low light -- and, after all, when you want a camera that fits so easily in a shirt pocket, what on earth do critics expect? For me, that little bit of noise is easily offset by the incredible telephoto and small form factor. As you pointed out, it's great value for the money!
