I am getting terrific results with a SONY DSC-HX 80 camera and the price won't break your bank.

I picked up a Canon G7X mkII. Took it on a cruise to the med and was blown away with the picture quality. Much Much better than I expected. Other features were great also.
There were many times I used it in place of my Canon 70D.

I'll second the LF1. That is my 'always with me' camera. F2.0 Leica lens is tack sharp. Very sturdy. I use it as a visual notebook for my construction site reports also. Hardly even know its in your pocket. Great wide angle to 200mm zoom is very useful range.

If you want to capture birds and squirrels and wildlife at a distance of 50 ft. or so you want at least an 800mm equivalent focal length. For wide angle your equivalent minimum focal length would be 24mm. Check the specs and the user reviews on Amazon (especially the negative ones), and the pro reviews on DPReview for any camera you want to buy. DPReview often has sample photos on their reviews. Sample photos will help make up your mind. They can be viewed at full resolution which will give you an idea of what crops will look like. Good luck and happy shopping. The last new camera I bought was the Lumix LX5 about 5 years ago. Every camera and lens I have bought since then has been used on ebay from top rated sellers.

I have the Sony RX100 III and RX10 III and really like them.
The last time I checked Amazon and B&H, they are selling
RX10 III for less than $1600.

Have any that are promoting the RX10III read post number 9 where the OP said, "I already have a Canon camera with a long lens but am looking for a smaller "point & shoot" camera when I don't want to carry a large camera -closer to a pocket size" There is no question the RX10III is a fantastic camera, but it is quite big due largely to the lens. It fails the OP's wish list due to size.
I listed the features of the Panasonic ZS100 and put up a picture so the OP could see the size. It meets the OP's list, including size.

Now you have a response from a "spectrum" audience -- make your decision. Don't let "it" overwhelm you! Ha, HA!

Consider a Nikon 1...either the J5, or V3. Put an FT-1 Lens Adaptor on it, and most Nikon DSLR lenses (FX, and DX, F Mounts) will fit on it. That gives you: many focus points, a small / lightweight package, great lens selection, great features, and high shooting speeds....for slow motion videos of sports, children, animals, objects, etc.

Well, CONGRATULATIONS ! ..........but I hate to inform you - " closer to pocket size" does not absolutely mean it MUST be pocket size !!

And, OH BTW, most of us were reading the ORIGINAL OP -
"Looking for a point & shoot camera that has the best features such as best image quality, super zoom, image stabilization,view finder, etc. Does anyone have information they can share with a preference" .........
