    That's great feedback on the 200-800. I guess design tradeoffs always come into play. For example, with regards to low cost, low weight, and high IQ --- you can have only two of those, but never...

    The key parameters for me are focus, frame rate, and buffer size. I want a camera that can lock on the focus quickly, and then let me lean on the shutter for long bursts without slowing down. ...
