Re: IQ GX7 compared to G6

To have 2 bodies side by side should always be great.

Agreed with members' opinion, IQ of GX7 is slightly better than G6 but in real life very close. No matter what the mini dslr-like design of G6 is easier to handle than the range finder design of GX7. But never forget GX7 has the nearly latest (unfortunately still no Zebra, Auto ISO in M allowing EX etc) features that are improved or lack in G6. These difference is not essential but fun to use and why not? Unless you need to sell GX7 to fund your new purchase, I would rather keep both (or sell G6) as keeping a later model is always better than an older model.

14-140 II is a surprise to me the kind of old school boy always looking suspicious on high power zoom lens. It is indeed sharp as primes in similar focal length and f/stops, good contrast, small and versatile (Wish not to start a new round of shutter shock/micro jittering in video etc argument). Excellent for people like my wife who hate to change lenses often. 14-42II (panny) and 14-45 are also excellent in their class but IMHO could completely be replaced by 14-140II unless that extra 150g (heavier than 14-42II) would be important...
