isn't the price going to "kill" this - (versus what else is around)
I looked at the FujiHS20/CanonIX80/Oly similar "super zooms" today, and they are half the price or less
Maybe I'm old fashion - but once you get to that size/level/interest/kit go to DSLR and Nikon, (my preferred choice), or Canon as all the equipment and accessories are out there and have been for years.........with a very good used lens market
The coverage to 624 is clearly off the table, weightwise, for DSLR (hell, I cant even *get* a 600mm lens for my pentax). But with that additional weight, you also get better IQ than the fuji can produce. Overall though, I'm really quite excited about it, and cant wait to see David's shots (or yours, since I know you won't be afar behind him in getting one). Here in Oz, we will have to wait... and wait... and wait...Yep, sure. So how much is a Nikon DSLR with flash and decent lenses covering 24 to 624 mm? And how heavy is this set? And how often will I have to change those lenses?
I'm pretty sure it's not GAS to be considering buying it as a way to REDUCE gear. I'll definitely be reading reviews in the coming weeks and hoping that a local shop will have one so I can see how it feels in hand.
