I am all caught up. So I have to ask this.

Hey Kevin,

I didnt mean to duplicate some stuff you already had talked about earlier.  I should have read all the threads but just wanted to give my reaction to your photos in my first post and move on.  But now that I am here is seems like you are frustrated by the mush but like the zoom. I get that.  Greynerd and I seem to be on the exact same page on keeping the small sensors to 12mp.  I wish the SP100 had done that.

I read the debate about the landscapes with small sensors.  I think some do it better than others too, but overall I have not been happy landscapes even for general use even with my FZ200.  It does OK but move the sensor size up just a hair bigger seems to do way better.  Like with my Olympus XZ-1 and my Panansonic LF1.

So I have to ask, have you considered carrying a small LF1 in your pocket for some landscapes. I think thats what the other guy was getting at, but somehow not saying it right.  Maybe you already answered it and I missed it.  I also dont want to bring up a sore subject, but it does seem logical to me given your interest in the landscapes.  The LF1 is 12MP and 1/1.17. and $299

It was windy here with this one. But I still like it.

Or for more money about $600 now on sale which is out of superzoom area, but you could make great use of it with your skill. You could get a Ricoh GR for your pocket and landscapes and keep the Olympus on your shoulder.  http://www.scottzinda.com/Point-and-Shoot-Cameras/Ricoh-GR/i-kwdBQHw
