Is 14x zoom enough for wildlife photography?

I want to get a bridge camera, mainly for their versatility (compared to a DSLR)

But there's so much choice and all.
Here are the camera's I have looked, but I can't make a choice. The superzoom with the best image quality (fujifilm S200EXR) has little zoom (compared to the others; 20x - 35x)

Panasonic DMC FZ100:
24X zoom
14MP sensor
Reviews say the image quality isn't all that great. Too much noise reduction seems to be the issue.
Has 11fps burst mode or 5fps AF burst mode.

Fujifilm HS10
30X zoom
Manual focus/zoom ring
10MP sensor
Its said that image quality is decent, but not the best.

Fujifilm S200EXR
14X zoom
Manual zoom ring
12MP sensor
Image quality is great, so far the best

Canon SX30 IS
35x zoom
14MP sensor
I.Q. Is alright. Slow burst mode 1fps or so.

The other camera's from Nikon and pentax are pretty much the same in terms of I. Q.

This is so confusing! Well, difficult. I don't know which one to get. Gah!

That's quite difficult to tell! The "X" zoom factor is just the relative difference between all the way zoomed out and all the way zoomed in. It is not an absolute figure of magnification. So without knowing the starting point, it's quite a useless number when you want absolute figures.

Anyway, a quick google search for "Fujifilm S200EXR 35mm equivalent" came up with the absolute figures of 30.5 to 436mm focal length on full frame/35mm SLRs. These are quite reasonable values for wildlife, most amateur wildlife photographers use lenses like a 70-300mm one. So it should be fine.
