10x zoom is useless unless you've a big tripod and your subject is dead.

Motorsport - forget it at anything more than 4-5x from a regular frame, you won't be able to use autofocus as its too slow and the lag between pressing the button and the photo being taken is usually enough to make sure the car is entirely out of the frame.

I don't know if things have improved these days but thats why I sold mine and got a DSLR.

For the record, and strictly by way of comparison, a Canon D30 and 75-300 lens would set you back about 350 and be 10 times more versitile.

there are a few point and clicks with small shutter lag but it's no where near like what SLR's are
