This same point was on my mind when I first read the review of the Panasonic
DMC LX3.
<http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonicdmclx3/>
It has a fast f/2.0-2.8 24-60 equivalent lens. I like the speed and the wide
angle on the short end but the compromise of 60mm equivalent on the long end is
a hard pill to swallow. I remember thinking at the time that Panasonic should
produce a twin camera with a 60-300 lens.
Watch many wedding and event photographers. They're likely equipped with two
camera bodies with one bearing a wide to short tele zoom and the other a short
to long tele zoom.
