>>3304938>>3304940That makes me think, and since I'm a newbie they'll be layman's thoughts:
>why these hyper-zooms are found only in mediocre bridge camerasIf it's not that bad, why not allowing cameras with better sensors to use such a design: such a wide range makes it a great jack of all trades lens, there might be situations where it can be preferred over fast primes.
>why not make a totally new and more ergonomic design around the lensI fear it's because of marketing, where the similarity with a DSLR can boost or even drive sales, but again, cameras' shape was dictated by how they used to work in the film age, nowadays those limitations are no more.
