NX20 - DOF/bokeh with the 60mm

I have just received my NX 20 + kit-lens and 60mm.

I am upgrading from a Lumix FZ20 (from 2004!), so its indeed something of a positive change.
I have a question about the 60mm for this forum:

The DOF is very shallow - sometimes it is a great thing, but in macro mode its very hard for me to focus on moving targets - living insects.
I understand the physics behind the size of sensor and the DOF.

If there is no easy solution. perhaps i will get another camera for this kind of pictures.
i have been thinking of the EX2F or perhaps the Lumix LX7?

Which would you choose?
