Yeah...some of the newer-generation ultra-zoom compact cameras have VERY powerful zooms with a high long-end focal length. Extremely tele! Girl-watcher compacts I call them. A few years ago, The Luminous Landscape's founder, Michael Reichmann, got interested in one of the newer ultra-zooms...and the thing is, some of the shots he compared against big Canon glass, were actually quite comparable! actual, real-word tests, the tiny sensor and a mosestly-long lens versus the much bigger Canon dslr sensor and a stovepipe-sized lens, for cmparable sensor-to-lens-length parity, showed that the compact camera was extremely capable.
Reasearch ought to turn up the best compact, but I've seen some 1-inch sensor compact images from Sony's best...looked pretty good. Did you see The Rolling Stones, as photographed by the Sony 1-inch sensor article, about two years ago, on Petapixel (??) ? Amazing shots, showing what the so-called "one-inch sensor" type compacts have now been able to achieve. The sensors are nowhere near one inch, but that is the naming nomenclature, 1-inch sensor.
