SkiHound, do you think that is a factor, since on the GX7 you have in body stabilization.

I think the lens' OIS is better than the GX7's IBIS.

My understanding is that you can't have the in-lens and the in-body stabilization on at the same time. Is that true?

I think if there's lens OIS, it automatically switches to that.

I much prefer having the external OIS switch on the lens vs. the button pushing routine to enable/disable IBIS. Either way, I tend to leave it off unless shooting in low light and my shutter speed drops below 1/80th or if it's a long lens, like the 100-300mm.
