This lens is also very unparfocal. It looses focus during video all the time when zooming just a little.

Very few photography zooms are parfocal. It is the first thing to go when trying to achieve small size and weight, manageable price, and good optics. After all, in the world of AF photography, it is assumed focus is updated automatically when the shutter is pressed, so it is not the design priority that it once was before AF. Show me any 10x photography zoom lens that is parfocal? Size, price?

Yes I know all that now. It is just very unparfocal. When so many praise this lens I just want to tell about the difficulties with video. If I had red this information by reviewers before buying that lens I would have considered other options.

Stick to the one legitimate concern you have (based on your own evidence). Trying to make up new things to criticise it for only makes you look like bias.

I hope my information could help people to decide what to buy for their purposes and why some things may look bad. I also feel being a beta tester for Panasonic and it is then fair to tell my findings. I have told them by customer service but they act like they are not listening.
