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.

Well, I skipped it because it's huge. I have that range in my 7DII + 18-135STM, and it's really not significantly larger, yet has a larger sensor and an optical viewfinder. In other words, if I'm going to go that big, I'm going to need something else, like range (FZ1000 or SX50) or interchangeable lenses.

Now, a 24-200 that would fit in my pocket would be interesting, and in fact it is as I mentioned. I'd give up sensor size and lens speed to get it.

There are plenty of cameras that fit in your pocket and go well beyond that zoom range. SX series from Canon, or TZ from Panasonic or HX from Sony.

Agreed. It's exactly why I purchased an SX280HS refurb from Canon for about $85.
