Obviously my English comprehension skills are lacking. When I read:

However, there are no 1" sensor super-zoom cameras.

I took that to mean that there are no 1" sensor super-zoom cameras (full stop). It must have meant something else and I'm still at a loss.

The trouble of multi-tasking and posting from work is sometimes I think I've written the full sentence.  I meant to say that there were no super-zooms with more than 600mm (since I talked about that in the next sentence).

In terms of the SP-100EE, I had been wishy washy on it in the first place.  Given there are so few users of it in this forum, it is hard to get opinions since the sample space is so small.  But for me, I'm comparing a used camera from 2014 being sold on ebay to new cameras currently being sold.  Back in the day when it was new, I thought it was too limited and I didn't go for it back then.  I noticed there were some SP-100EE's for sale and put them briefly on my ebay watch list.  I also put the Fuji superzoom cameras on the watch list, and removed them when I read the reviews.

In terms of compact cameras, I could have gone for a Stylus-1 refresh, bringing it to a 1" sensor, and maybe bumping the focal length a little.
