You can pick up the G7 with 14-140 mkii lens for the same $799 as the GX85 with the collapsing 12-32.

I've not yet seen a brand new G7+14-140mm bundle for $799 - not saying there were none. The best was $899 from US online store(ebay, amazon, etc).

I've only seen $799 for G7 + 14-42mm kit lens.

In any case, for me, I'm interested in body-only. I can get a G7 body-only from ebay(Asian) sellers for $499, so I guess I have to wait a while before a body-only GX80/85 gets down to $599 - I figure the IBIS + SS-less is worth the extra $100.

My local retailer, Robert's Camera in Indy, has this online (G7+14-42 for $599)

-In store- they have the same this week for $449 (!!!), and the G7/14-140 for $799 due to an active promotion they worked out with Panasonic, however I'm told by them that they cannot sell online at those prices due to MAP agreements. Bummer especially as this is US version with full warranty, not gray market.
