Re: EPM2 image quality

I can't personally compare with the LX7.

As I just started with the 14-42, I would point you to reviews here on DPReview and on other online resources for detailed opinions.  I have read a number of them and my (unexpert) summary is that the 14-42 is a pretty good kit lens, not equal to a pro level zoom lens (like the Oly 12-40) but worthwhile for daily, non-professional use.  I defer on this lens quality issue to those with greater experienced.

For the price, it's very hard to beat the EPM2, bundled with the 14-42, or with the 14-42 and the Oly 40-150 both, for an entry level mirrorless system.  You can get very good results out of this combination; not surprisingly, if you spend more, you can move into the top range of IQ.  That level is a range which many of us learning curve amateurs do not require.
