I was reluctant to buy a superzoom based on experience with older models

The 24-200 was the first Z lens I bought and I still love it. It's far and away the most versatile lens in my bag, and the image quality is excellent.
Glad to have a fellow shooter confirm my impressions

Talk about nice timing - this guy’s video appeared on my YouTube feed 20 minutes ago. I don’t know anything about him, but he is echoing my conclusions about the 24-200.

Yes - for those who don't know, the RX10s have a 1" sensor and truly excellent Zeiss lenses. The Mks1 & 2 have 8 x zooms, the MKs3 & 4 have 20 x zooms. Having said that, the RX10s are mirrorless fixed zoom lens cameras - high quality with weather sealing. I believe that in the fullness of time that is the way all cameras will go. 
Besides my EF and RF Canons with mostly L lenses I have the RX10iv and an older Panasonic Lumix ZS6 with Leica lens. Excellent images from all if I do my part.
Then I have my old Fuji superzoom and some I got for $20 each off the clearance table at Good Will = one to permanently live in each of our 4 family cars and one in the lock box on my mobility scooter. With the ZS6 which lives in my shirt, jacket or vest pocket when I leave the house I am never without a camera "just in case" Big Foot strolls out of the brush or Quark lands by the road and tries to sell me some of his imported Tulaberry Wine. (You have to be into SciFi = Star Trek Deep Space Nine to get that one.)

Rent it for Pete's sake...a whole lot less expensive and you won't have to buy the next supersuperzoom when it comes out!

For those who shoot Canon, the RF 24-240 is fantastic too. For me it is the ideal travel lens.
