Micro 4/3s, my next step Macro strategy.

If I was in your shoes (a non stabilized Panasonic body) I'd rather look for the 45mm F2.8 macro, which is stabilized. Further, I'm not exactly sure how DOF works at the very close macro distances, but since 45mm is shorter than 60mm, you should get a little more DOF (?) . Also the 45mm cost more if I remember correctly, so I guess that this comes into the equation too, of course.

Think to it what is disturbing you with the 60mm pictures ? Is it what you perceive as some lack of sharpness ? Because it could just be lack of DOF. Smaller compact cameras have an advantage when you want deep DOF, so it may explain why you find the pictures coming from that old TZ compact still superior.
