NX is better for some purposes even with limited long FL range but bridge cameras offer decent quality when 1" sensor is applied and the most important the range is for every occasion 24-600 mm + cropping possibilities means such camera can work for holidays time better than every system camera - no lens changing and one camera only is big pros for me.

Of course no possible to use bridge camera with fish eye or ultra wide lens, no possible to get extra shallow portrait DOF so even we have such camera we still need a system camera with specialised lens.

My Panasonic FZ72 bridge has a 20mm equivalent wide angle which works pretty well. The main reason I keep it.

I do not want to sell NX and buy something else simply I thin hoe to increase possibilities when lighting is nice and I need to use short and immediately long FL.

I thought about NX18-200 but its range is so so and quality not better than 1" bridge camera and the price is also high.

DSLR systems can use Tamron 16-300 (24-450) but I am afraid of Auto Focus issues.

The conclusion is photo marketing does not understand customer needs and nobody knows when the right camera will be offered

My conclusion is very different. It's not that they don't understand, it's that they can't produce a lens of high quality with that kind of range at a price consumers can afford, especially if we add wide aperture to those demands.

Difficult also to imagine how a team that produced the rather barmy WB2200f

Yep, as I mentioned on that one, no raw even.  And the lens is... very mediocre is a nice way to say it I guess.  On the other hand, they're probably also the people that made the EX2F...., so cheaping out on the WB2200F and just trying to make it look pro seems like directive from marketing.

could make it back to planet Earth quickly enough to produce a practical super zoom and it would have to be >>1/2.3" which is going to be essential. Sony have worked up through 3 marks of RX10 in the interim.

It is just not going to happen. Nikon are in enough trouble in their attempt to get 1" compacts off the ground and that is what people seem to want.
