<p>Thanks guys for all your advice. It seems that the 14-45 that I have is the best of the Panasonic 14-4x, so I'll keep it.</p> <p>Long term, though, I'll keep my eye on the Panasonic f/2.8 lenses. Does Olympus have any lenses that compete with the Panasonic f/2.8 lenses?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>David</p>

<p>Hello all.<br> I see that there are two (more?) 14-42 Panasonic m4/3 lenses and one 14-45 lens (which I have). Based on what I've read, it appears that the 14-45 lens is nicer than the first 14-42 lens but not as nice as the more recent 14-42 (Power OIS) lens.<br> I'd appreciate any commentary on this topic. Specifically, should I just keep the 14-45 or look to upgrade to the Power OIS 14-42. Or, for that matter, look to upgrade to the f/2.8 lenses.<br> I should add that I have no interest in video -- just still photography.<br> Thanks much for any advice.<br> David</p>

<p>My understanding is that the black GX7 body is not intended for sale in the USA. But, I see it available on eBay and Amazon -- even Adorama and B&H. Is this grey-market merchandise intended for sale in other regions? If so, then is the firmware specific to the country in which the body is intended for sale? Specifically, I'm concerned about languages available (on the screen) and video modes available.<br> Thanks for any help or advice.<br> David</p>
