Far too big, light-years apart from the analog Ricoh 24mm....if I
have to carry that much camera, I might as well swing an entire
MiniTrekker on my back.

But no 24mm whatsoever.
While even decent full-size 'standard' zooms exist in that range (24-
105).
While you absolute *need* IS with those silly extreme tele
capabilities (without the high aperture needed to isolate subject
from background)....adding cost for IS that a moderate 24mm zoom
wouldn't need....
28mm is what even the most clumsy amateur can use without the typical
wide-angle issues like boring-composition/lack-of-foreground, falling
lines and elliptical faces on the edge of the image.
Amateur camera's from an amateuristic manufacturer.
