I dont know about file conversion using quicktime, but I postively hate their bloated players. Try Handbrake for encoding/format conversion.
Secondly whats your encoding process ? I hope you are not doing multiple passes, that'll kill the IQ.

You forgot the battery charger .
Not the quicktime player (have never used it) , It is just a quicktime plugin (dll file) that needs to be added to Virtual dub to make it open .mov and some other file types.
I had to convert all the .mov files to .avi format. (using x264 for compression). There were some settings I saw in an youtube video for x264 for best results. I resized them from 1080 down to 540 & 360 (for some).
Then appended all the small avi files to make a big one out of it.
One thing I've learned from this. I don't need 1920*1080 for home videos, The next time I'm shooting small.

Do you NEED the superzoom ? Is it a must ?
If not, you are treading in the RX100 territory, and so tread with care - for the RX100 is a gem of a camera.

+1 for the RX100. You might use the zoom at times (you will need a tripod to use it fully) but the low light imaging, photo quality and compactness of the RX100 will be more useful.
As a matter of fact you might also want to look at the sony a3000 or the older NEX3 if an interchangeable lens is an option

Kaz,
S02 and S2800 both doesn't have mechanical IS, so you can leave that out. IXUS is fine.
Tenida,
For you? You have 600D, right?
I think HS50EXR offers good physical controls, good reach, poor video... It's a nice choice along with SX50 and FZ200 to consider. But after Canon slashed price of SX50, it looks attractive now.
