Still ridiculously far out there for a P&S. Full 18x zoom.
Similar shot and distance as one I took with the pocket ZS3 that I tried but didn't keep: http://www.pbase.com/britestar/image/117590401
I really needed Big Bertha http://www.pbase.com/britestar/image/55071041 to shoot something this far away. However, these were test shots to see how far I can push the FZ35. Although none of these images can compare to images from a DSLR's with a Prime lens, I think the FZ35 is definitely a better fit for me than the ZS1. Now, I need to find some closer wildlife.
