Best Ultra-Zoom Camera?

I am looking for a ultra-zoom camera to upgrade from my Canon S3 IS. I was looking at the following:

Canon SX10 IS

Kodak Z980

Olympus SP-590UZ

FujiFilm FinePix S8100fd

Nikon CoolPix P80

Panasonic DMC-FZ28K

Which one of these will take the best pictures overall?

Thanks.

  • Digital Photography Review just did a comparison review of this category- here's the conclusion:

    you can look at all the cameras in depth on this site also.

    I really like Panasonic- they have incredible Leica lenses and I find them very user-friendly, with excellent results. BTW, Kodak is coming out with a 24X ultra zoom:

    It will be out soon, at less than $400. even though I use a dSLR, I like ultra-zooms for travel. I'm quite interested in the Kodak.
