Still, with coastal surveys in Sarawak looming, I really needed to replace my digiscoping camera quickly, and after a bit of reading, plumped for the Canon Powershot S95.
My first shots out of my open bedroom window, taken in the late afternoon:

This particular Yellow-vented is paired with an escapee Red-whiskered Bulbul! It'll be interesting to see if they produce any offspring.
The camera is tiny compared with my old CP8400, and much faster and easier to use too. I miss the Electonic Viewfinder and angled LCD screen, but this one seems quite promising.
