Thanks, yeah, I can lose the feeling for a while, and then all of a sudden there is that itch and I feel a need to get the camera back in my hand. And yup, the P1000 has an incredible zoomlevel, but is still able to give quite nice images. Yes, I know that a DSLR would give sharper images, nicer bokeh, and all that kind of jazz, but since I lack the finances for that ... I´m quite happy as it is right now. Besides that, it´s also handy to have an all-in-one camera ready to go for almost every situation.
