Reading about possible shutter shock with the Panasonic 14-140 on the GX7 I wonder if Olympus 14-150II would be a better option?

And what about Panasonic 100-300 vs Olympus 75-300II?

If using GX7, IMHO 14-140II would be your best option. The following was taken by my wife on GX1, just the combo most suspicious to shutter shock:

Recently we found 14-140II would be such a perfect fit on GX7, it was mounted on my GX7 and becoming my wife's camera.... The following was on e-shutter:

I can say 14-140II, such a superzoom, could beat my good old 14-45 in every aspect.

GX7 has IBIS, but is still relatively primitive and not as good as EMs. 150 (eq to 300mm FF) is not a focal length handheld shooting without good stabilization. YMMV.
