I have been using an Olympus SP-350. I would like to get the high quality results of a full size SLR, but I don't want to carry the weight any more (back in the film days I would carry a full size Leicaflex 35mm in the back country, but it was heavy).

Overall, I have been pleased with the results that this camera delivers. It is only 8MP, and I have been shooting at the second highest resolution (so I can fit a thousand pics on a card, I take a lot of pictures during a week of backpacking). The CCD must be a good one.
 
A few images from the Christmas blizzard from my parents' farm in NE Nebraska. We got about 20 inches of snow and the wind blew 35 to almost 50 mph for two or three days straight.

I have a couple videos and some pictures with people for scale, but they are on my other camera. I conveniently forgot it at home, so you'll have to wait for those.

Went for a bit of a hike this afternoon, around 4 miles, at a local wildlife area. The temperature hovered around 0F this afternoon, so it was pretty chilly. Quite a bit of snow, lots of deer, and a couple other animals. Caught a mouse or vole running along the snow. I had no idea how fast those guys could go in such deep snow, and it was comical watching him skip across the drifts. Didn't get the camera out quick enough to catch him in the act, but did get a few of his very fresh tracks:

We were just discussing a theory, that the rock structure in the image is left over from a period when this part of the world was under water, right?

The dark parts are the accretions of pre-historic shell creatures, and the light parts are the bio-waste silted down from shallow sea invertebrates??????

This is a USGS report that may help confirm your theory as I cannot answer your question.
