So, I suppose to get the best out of the IBIS of the GX7, my choices will be 12-32 pancake or the kit lens. I guess I will save money by getting it body only and buy an unboxed 12-32 and spend the saving on another prime like the new Panasonic 25/1.7.

The IBIS will work with Pany lenses, but only if they are not stabilized lenses (e.g. "OIS").

If the lens has Pany OIS, then the IBIS is disabled.

This may have been the case on earlier models but is incorrect on the E-M10. I have the E-M10 and there is the option to set whether it gives IBIS or the lens IS priority. I currently have it set to use IBIS and it works fine with my various Panny OIS lenses.

Sure .. the EM10 gives you the choice (but doesn't use them together). However, I was referring to his GX7, which doesn't give you the choice, and doesn't use the IBIS even if you turn the OIS switch on the lens to "OFF".

With the GX8, it will use the IBIS and it will use the OIS -- both at the same time!
