Feel sorry for that lovely small cat in that cage.  I hope that it has more room to run around.

Here is a suggestion which may meet your needs.  Panasonic makes a bridge camera called the DMC-FZ200.  That camera has a lens which covers everything from very wide to very long and it can...

The GWC1 is much smaller in size than the LW46.  It, the GWC1, is designed for the 14 f 2.5 and 14-42 GX lenses and is therefore better when used on those lenses.  I have both of those conversion...

If he is not "into photography" then just about any compact will do.  I do like the LX7 and the Olympus XZ1 and XZ2 because they take the add-on external EVF units.  They are both fast (the...

I use bodies from both companies but favor lenses from Panasonic.  To date there are none which do not perform well.  By the way, the reason that shorter length lenses are not stabilized (from...

Hi.  I have the 45-175 and have no complaints.  I use it on both Panasonic and Olympus bodies with equally good results.

Sorry, you are obviously asking about weight not stabilization.

Are you asking if the 12-35 is stabilized with both cameras?  It has built-in stabilization.  I am not understanding your question.

Now that you have the flagship body, how about the 12-35, 35-100 for lenses?  I have them and they really are great.

Are you using a Panasonic body?  If so, the 20 1.7 is a very good lens.  If you are using an Olympus body, the 17 might be better.  Each company builds their bodies to work with their lenses.  Yes,...

If it is only one lens that you want, I would vote for the Pany 20 1.7 or 25 1.4.  But, you will eventually want other lenses and there are ways to add to you collection for not a lot of cash.

Hi.  I also have a GX1 and use it for 'lightweight carry' frequently.  I carry the 14 f 2.5, 20 f 1.7 and the 45 - 175 GX zoom (light weight with good reach).  If I want a wider view than the...

Just re-read your post.  Travel...12-35, 35-100, 20 1.7 or 25 1.4.  How often do you require a very long lens for travel?  You could add the 45-175 GX lens if you want something longer, but still...

12-35, 35-100, 100-300. 20 1.7 or 25 1.4.  If you want macro, 45 f 2.8, ultra wide then 7-14.  You have the best of the best in glass.  Oh, you might want to add the Oly 75 f 1.8.  Nice lens.

The 14mm is perfectly fine and so is your camera.  Remember, even though you can mount all the Panasonic lenses on your Olympus body, they are not 'native' to that body.  There may be some chatter...

There will not be any chattering with the GX1 body.  The Panasonic body is built for Panasonic lenses and does not make noises while attaining focus.

That should have been center-pinch caps, not hoods!

I not only use lens hoods, with the solid ones which are round (that is most of the Panasonic hoods) I keep them on in the ready position and I have purchased large lens caps to fit the ends of the...

I agree with Rainbowimaging.com.  I have purchased quite a few items from them and they are very reliable.

Thanks for your efforts and for posting the pictures.  I have a pre-order in with Amazon.  Your description of the body in hand made my decision.  Thank you.  By the way, thanks for being a...
