Why no Panorama option in GF or G Series?

Which is also what I write... Putting all these features in low end cameras might make sense since you can sell to a broader market than enthusiast cameras can. I know many people that do not want dials and buttons on their cameras, a single button for the shutter is fine, the camera should do the rest (Well, a few are needed... on/off button is acceptable, and so it zoom, though the "ring around the lens" design is obvisouly better and is adapted by many more even on small cameras.)

What I disagree with the OP on is that it is a needed feature for a camera, I see it is as I write, at best, a poor replacement for doing it right, at the same range as art-filters, iAuto and in camera HDR. And nothing I have seen in this argument gives me any reason to think any other way.
