They do NOT provide the kind of detail a DSLR with the same equivalent
focal length can. These moon shots through a Panasonic FZ-50 prove
it, and it was one of the better superzooms made. On top of that, the
images are washed out, and off-colour, plus they show considerable
chromatic aberration and lack of contrast. All of which reduces
detail.

Here's a shot of a bird's head with an APS sensor camera and a 350mm
mirror lens. About a 500mm "equivalent."

And here's where a 20x superzoom lens' resolution and CA performance EASILY
beats an easy to design and build 3X DSLR lens.

Your point?

Oh that's right. You NEVER have one.

Yes, that original Canon 18-55mm was dog. Not equaled in crumminess
until the Sony 18-70mm showed up. But they are hardly representative
of good quality kit lenses.
