It's a flawed gem. The best and most consistently sharp superzoom ive ever used.

It has reported OIS problem but only an issue for video.

It does exhibit the worst shutter shock of any lens ive used. Its not subtle and is easy to see with a panny body simply by taking a pair of shots one with e shutter and one without. At any focal length longer than say 35mm and shutter speed between 1/25th and 1/250th its obvious.

But if you dont care about video and dont mind using the e shutter at offending speeds (guess that wont help oly user) then its great.
