Looking for camera recommendations....?
I do a lot of hiking and wildlife photography. I got tired of hauling around a heavy camera so I opted for a smaller digital with a decent zoom. But I'm finding that I miss the longer Lens and it takes so long for the camera to turn on, so I tend to get more deer butt as they are running away from me rather than what I wanted.
What camera would be a good compromise. I'd like something very lightweight and not bulky, digital, good zoom and begins functioning quickly when it gets turned on. I realize that I I'm not going to get the benefits of a 35mm long lens in a 8oz digital, but there has to be something out there that has a little bit of both worlds.
Thanks for all suggestions...
If you are really on a budget and want the best quality for the money, check out the P&S Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 which has more features than most pro DSLRs that require auxiliary lenses not even equal to the single initial full-range lense that comes with the FZ28. It is reviewed at:

It just came out on November 4, 2008.
It's an all-in-one 10.1 megapixel DSLR camera which includes (i) built-in image stabilization; (ii) HDTV quality video [Quicktime]; (iii) a 18x zoom [27 - 486 mm (35mm equiv.)] "Leica" lense for nature photography; (iv) up to 0.39 inch macro option; (v) up to 6400 ASA; (vi) takes up to 380 pictures per 120 min. battery charge; (vii) has a "burst speed" of 13 fps; and sells new for $270 at amazon.com.
Here's an actual handheld picture of the moon:
