Interesting news. Amazon lists DA 55-300 as to be released on May 31, 2008. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012QCYNM/ ($400)
In my opinion, the big advantage of 60-250 is the f/4 for the long end, especially if it performs well while wide-open.

Last roadmap I saw it was in the "To Be Released" category. Couldn't make any sort of judgment about its performance based on one "fairly decent" image. This lens is competing with the DA*60~250, from a standpoint of price, in my mind, if only to justify the additional $$ for the DA*.
