Oooh. Bad choice. "Superzoom" cameras tend to have sensors smaller than your pinky-nail, and small sensors mean lots of noise (speckles) in your pictures.
If you want something really flexible, the Olympus EP-L1 or EP-2 are going to cost more than the SP-600 but the sensor is big and the quality in low light is good. The Panasonic G-series is also a good choice (and supports the same lenses), and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 is very compact. If I wasn't already invested in Nikon equipment, I would seriously consider the Olympus EP-2 or the Panasonic GF1 instead of a digital SLR.
If you want small, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 has a big sensor and a fast lens in a pocket size. The Canon Powershot S95 and the Canon Powershot G12 also both have excellent reputations as pro-quality cameras in pocket-size bodies. I haven't upgraded my pocket camera, but if I was going to it would be one of these models.
And, yes, those are the Australian model names and numbers, they're the same as the US names and numbers.
