Well, although the DA50-200 goes to f/5.6 at maximum tele, it is IMO the best zoom available as yet that covers this focal length range for the digital SLR line, and it is tiny/light weight. The DA*60-250/4 will likely be a better performer and has more range, but it will not be anywhere near as handy to have along...
