Show of hands please!!!
All of the people who bought ANY digital camera and did not find a valid reason for replacing it within the first year.

Ooops , all the hands went down.
Now, those of you who bought another camera that improved the original camera (what you thought was wrong) and did not throw into the mix some other problem you could have not anticipated lower your hands,

Now you set the criteria in the first post as P&S and long telephoto, which commonly are referred to as "bridge" or SuperZoom"
In both of those categories, you should know you are still limiting yourself to SMALL SENSOR camera, which would be a more appropriate place to start the discussion. That would then include mirrorless and interchangeable lens models. The arguments for superzoom are good, until you remember to include that these cameras usually contain one of the three smallest sensors in the picture below:

I don't believe I have ever read a more assumptive (smartest person in the room) patronizing post in all my life. All those who agree raise your hand.
Now maybe you could educate us all on algorithm compensation for reduced sensor size.
