Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35
The FZ35 should be at the top of any potential superzoom buyer's list, with a fully featured specification sheet and good image quality.
Olympus Mju Tough 6010
The 6010 does exactly what it says on the tin and takes photos in extreme circumstances. It's unfortunate that they're not the best photos they could be.
