Re: Leaning towards to these options...

After reviewing all the available offers, I am starting to leaning towards these:

ILC:

1) Olympus EPL-6 with dual lens kit (14-42, 40-150)...469E

2) Olympus EPL-7 with 14-42 EZ....478E

3) Olympus M10 with 14-42...549E

4) Panasonic G5 with 14-42....370E

5) Panasonic G6 with 14-42....469E

6) Panasonic G6 with dual lens kit (14-42, 40-150)...622E*

Fixed lens:

1) Olympus Stylus 1s....495E

2) Panasonic FZ300....610E*

3) Panasonic TZ71....382E**

4) Sony HX90V...429E**

*cost will probably be prohibitive

**low light photos will not be good?

Now regarding the ILC, should I opt for the lenses or the body? If lenses are more important then EPL6 or G5 might be good enough. Regarding the fixed lens, I think the Stylus 1S is the best compromise due to sensor and 2.8 lens.
