Re: GH4 and 14-140 stabilization issue

The softness might be expected.  Smaller sensor and integrated lens/body.  I will readily admit that my previous APS-C Pentax K-5 (16mp), and even my K-r (12mp), generated somewhat sharper still images than my GH3.  Not every single image, but the overall average.  Bigger sensors have more to work with.  And of course it also depends on the lens, focal length, distance to subject, f/ stop, etc.  (I add the obvious to forestall snark attacks by the trolls who inhabit dpreview forums).

Anyhow, the 14-140mm is not perfect but it does a decent job, and right now there is no viable alternative with this type of focal length range, so I probably will keep it.
