I'm not up to date on superzoom cameras. Usually I check dpreview for good tech reviews. Most of my photos use moderate wide angles and I do a lot of candid snaps of people, so I seldom need long lenses.

Superzoom cameras are popular with casual birders. Excellent values compared with bulky and expensive APS and full frame dSLR zooms and telephotos.

Most have tiny sensors, which limits low light performance and depth of field. But that wouldn't concern me for a compact bicycling camera. These still offer great image quality compared with most smart phones, and are far superior to tiny sensors of previous generations.

There are also some good bridge cameras in Micro 4:3 and 1-inch sensors, with good, fast zooms. But these are too bulky for jersey pockets.

When I'm wanting more serious photos I'll rig up my AGU weatherproof handlebar bag for my Fuji and Nikon gear.
