The SMCP A70-210/4 Macro is excellent, although I found the lens a

Same here, except for the "heavy/bulky" part -<g>.
lol ... Yes, I'm pretty sensitive to weight and bulk in the camera
bag. I forgot to mention that the one-touch zoom/focus control is
another thing that didn't appeal to me.
If I used the 200mm focal length more, I think I'd consider the
DA50-200 now. Half the size, one-third the weight in exchange for a
stop on speed, and AF as well.
