Thanks for a great report and I love the photos. My gh3 arrives on wednesday. Questions...

You talked about the electronic shutter for street photography. Can you explain this to me, I have never used an electronic shutter, I know it is silent but how is it effective for taking street shots, which is mostly what I love to shoot.

I have the Panasonic 14-140 lens but I am considering trading it in for the new 35-100 lens. Besides being a faster lens do you think this is a good move, is it faster to focus, and is iq better? I wonder if I will miss having the 14 mm on the one lens when I am out shooting on the street.

Thanks for any insights.
