I'll keep that in mind next time when I go shooting war in Iraq. So you would bring a Sigma 60-600 when shooting war? I'm just exaggerating, but I still can't see the benefit of a 3 kg 10× zoom in front of a DSLR.
No imagination problem with a bridge camera, but for this "more serious" or "aiming for quality" type of documentary photography i just feel it's not handy enough and at least will have troubles with sand and dust and rain. No matter how much seals Sigma crams in, there are extending tubes which will provide a higher risk of particle transport to the inside of the lens.
If I would like to go towards 50 or 85 mm, a (much faster) prime and another body still is my preference. I can see the event of animals approaching or coming close to an elephant. But basically the MFD would be too long for typical standard FL, I think.
