Re: Best lens/body combo for around $600-ish?

If you're not into 4K video, a EM10.1 + 14-42 kit + 14/2.5 prime(all used) can be had for about $500.

If you think you need 4K video in the near future, then a new GX85 + 12-32 + 45-150 for about $600. You can maybe sell the 45-150 to go towards a 14/2.5 prime.

I started out with a new EM10.1 + 14-42 + 40-150 + (used)14/2.5 prime 2.5 years ago for a total of $850.

Edit: WA 14/2.5 for your low-light/indoors.  You might be able to make do with the kit lens though (14-42 or 12-32) if subject is stationary.
