Not sure about your country but $800 roughly translates to £570 in the UK.
Considering SRS are doing the same thing for £520 I doubt it.

It's optical, the lens clearly says 4.6mm - 110.4mm, which is 24x zoom.

Is that the biggest yet in this class of camera?

Same as the Nikon P90.
Infact the whole camera is very much the same from the look of it.

Tempting! I don't see RAW listed.
Exactly what I was thinking, plus 24x digital or optical zoom?

On another note it seems the Teleconverter and 30mm have both been taken off the lens roadmap.

Ah yes, forgot .. it was £750 or thereabouts a few weeks ago

Unlocker has one but I think he's a bit busy atm.

If I ever want to look at images produced with a lens I find by faraway the best place to look is Flickr.

Maybe you should be looking at the Sigma 100-300mm f4?
Has the zoom requirements and by all accounts very good IQ as well.
Plus you can bang on the Sigma 1.4EX TC for a 420mm f5.6

I have my F* 300mm f4.5 which I love but sometimes it is just too restrictive and I take along the Sigma 135-400mm instead, but the quality is just not as good obviously.
It just depends what you want really.

I am (hopefully)in the process of buying a 50-500mm Sigma EX which should happen in April (I dont want to send money to someone I don't know and obviously he doesn't want to send the lens so we will meet up when I return to UK).
