There are a lot of answers which I will not read but with the GF I would suggest that unless you have an added viewfinder you should stick with what you have unless you always shoot with a tripod...

I would say  the camera is fine except for its owner expecting mental connection between it and him :)

Thankyou for info and tip :)

The first is soft and the second harsh and sharp and not what a portrait should be. The first is good however you achieved it.

I protect my lenses with a lenshood and attention to my surroundings and sensible watchfulness. I do not go near welders or dusty locations where I would consider a quality filter.

I cannot find a listing for this item .. does it come with the lens as most panasonic items do or is it and extra to be bought?

Probably people are not bothered about internal zoom though I see them as preferable if you are going to add anything heavy to the lens...Why I like my FZ50 and declined to upgrade to subsequent...

What aperture is the 14-150 listed above. The 75-300 is not impressive IMO

It is a mistake to think that you need a 14mm lens to shoot stitched landscapes.  It is better to take a few more frames with a longer lens ...I used to stitch with a 35mm and even that was at  the...

NO I am not confusing them ... Panasonic make a Lumix 14-150 for 4/3 and Oly make the same range for M4/3 but of course it doesn't have OIS.  If you want OIS you have to go with the Lumix 14-140.

Just checked and I see Oly have the 14-150 which wouldn't be much use to me with my Panasonic camera becuase I think OIS is worth having, or IBIS.  I like working with my Lumix 14-140 and thought...

I thought the 14-150 was for 4/3 cameras and not the M4/3?

If the refresh rate is not fast enough for you and frankly I think that is ballony there is always the technique of framing with one eye and timing the shot with the other eye looking around the...

I would expect it depends on what sort of sports photo you are after, photographers were shooting sports with much less sophisticated cameras than the M4/3 offers you but the way they shot was...

It would be nice if Lumix came out with a constant f/2.8 x24 lens for M4/3 like they have for the FZ200

Propbably to compensate for the slow kit lenses or the Lumix 14-140 if you are not bothered or dont want to outlay on fast primes ....I always shot with 125 ASA ISO film [ almost] and 100 ISO with...

Well there is the 14-140 Lumix if you want the convienience of a zoom.

The other very worthwhile accessory I made for a video camera was to organise an arm to control the zoom ... in my case a short length of brass rod attached to a hose clip around the lens's zoom...

To me using a monopod with a movie camera is a NO NO becuase the near impossibility of keeping the horizon level when you pan.   I learnt that early on in my movie experience. I have found that a...

Probably at the current state of the art it is not a realistic proposition?
