I can only comment on the tiny panny zoom. It was sharp and wide. On my panny body, I didn't notice much if any CA or distortion. The OIS was great. Not having the manual focus option was a bummer. If manual focus is something that you find yourself using, you can cross that off your list. If you can live without manual focus then the potential CA and distortion on olympus bodies can be corrected in post very easily. If video is a deciding factor, I don't think I'd want the tiny panny either - the lack of PZ and manual focus would turn me away.

I dont think i'm the best person to talk to about this stuff though as I'm a prime guy. Although, I do want the panny 14-140 mk2 for the convenience factor. Wide- check. Tele - check.
