Zoom shots from my new Olympus SP-550 18x UltraZoom camera. Two shots of a bird up on the power lines. This is 18x zoom! I could've come close with the E500, but not with the 4MP 3x C4040. I'm not even used to looking for shots like this. The two close-ups are simple crops from the two originals. No editing or re-touching. The house series shows wide (28mm), middle zoom (~61mm), and full zoom (504mm). (For actual comparisons to the C4040 and E500, see other galleries by clicking on "Camera Comparisons" above.)
