Right, so let's add those in if you want to charge over $1,000 for a similar lens.

Look guys, snarkiness aside, d1rockwild made a sarcastic comment about the needs of the video shooter. I'm only saying that those needs aren't being fully met by manufacturers of hybrid systems. That sarcastic comment seems to reflect the actual attitude of equipment makers.
Now, is anyone here really opposed to having such options available?
