Hello. What I'm looking for:

Type: compact point & shoot
Features:
High zoom (10x or more)
High megapixel (14M if possible)
Budget: around RM 800-850 max, if less better
Fast startup & shutter lag (without using flash)

What I'll be using it for:
Travel (sometimes at night)
Landscape photography (so I want wide angle lens)
Far away objects (so I need the high zoom)
Moving objects (while I stand still) & also still objects while I'm moving (eg in a bus)

I have searched local online sellers for cameras with the above specs and within my budget, and I have come up with the following choices:

My main preference now:
Sony H55
Casio H15

Less prefered:
Panasonic ZR3 & ZR1
Olympus mju 9010

Also, I found a Casio H10 for under RM500. I tested this camera a few months ago in a shop (when it cost RM700+) and liked it, almost bought it right then. Is it worth buying now that it is an old/discontinued model and H15 cost a lot more for the extra 2 megapixels?

If I raise my budget a little (to around RM1000), I can get the following, but I really don't want to, unless you guys could convince me that it's really much much better than the above:

Panasonic TZ10
Casio FH100
Sony HX5v

I need the camera by the end of this week, so that's why I'm posting here asking for you experts' prompt opinion.

Thanks.
