Re: IQ GX7 compared to G6

As someone state, IQ is close, but gx7 is better slightly. Gx8 is emensely better.

I was just comparing 14-42 & 14-140, and the are similar image quality. 140 is slightly better but almost imperceptibly. You need to really blow it up to the pixel level, and then its just a (blur vs a slightly better blur)

The $230 Sigma 60mm 2.8 is almost as good a resolution as you are going to get on M43, so if you are looking for IQ, grab one of those - one of the best lens for the money.

But the 14-140 is so liberating - you just about always have the right focal length (unless your shooting birds at a distance etc)

You can compare the the cameras here.
I an not sure what image 0 and image 1 in the g6 is, but image 1 (second selection) is much better.
