How much zoom is a lot of zoom?
I want at least 10X optical and 4X digital.
I must agree with aquafamily regarding the SX230. I have had one for several weeks and feel I have made a good decision.
This shot is outdoors with flash...
Indoors w/flash...
Indoors, no flash...
This is a feature-rich camera the size of a deck of cards.
Here are three videos taken with the SX 230. Two are straight from the camera with no editing...

I am pleased with the low-light results.
This one is my son testing some high-performance engines on a rainy day..
