Which do-it-all zoom lens?

Here's a few more, taken at night. You can still see detail inside of buildings, read the signage on the shopfront banners etc. Much nicer looking to my eye than just blown out patches of white. But that's just me. They're far from technically perfect, but I'm happy that they look pretty much like what I actually saw.

I don't ALWAYS shoot under exposed, I look at the conditions and adjust exposure accordingly. Here's a few I've over exposed by up to 1 1/3 stops, because the lighting was pretty flat & even. Read the conditions, adjust exposure to suit what I want to capture.

Yes, the S5 really does produce very flexible raw images and high iso is not a problem.
