I'd be much, much more interested if it were 24-200/2-4.9 (or so) on 1". For a fixed-lens camera, I need the range. I've been using a 24-105 equivalent fixed-lens camera for years and the biggest thing I miss is a little more telephoto (200 equivalent, not 500 or 1200).

Big +1

I have a 24-100 and a 24-600 in a 1" inch sensor. Would really love a compact 24-200!

This would seem to be incredibly self-evident. What are the two most common lenses for pros with full-frame cameras? The 24-70 and 70-200. I wonder why that is...

Absolutely.  You would think the choices would abound!  Even the two soon-to-be-released Canon 1" sensor cameras haven't gone there yet.

I skipped on the Sony RX10 MkII (24-200) solely because it wouldn't work with the close up lenses I wanted to use on it (which the G3X does in spades).  But that focal length range was soooo tempting.
