hmmm... fast zoom lens for under 500. I think that would be a used 12-35mm f/2.8. 100 more and you could get a new one from eBay.
Olympus lenses typically don't have stabilisation (those that do are much more expensive). So it's not just that there will be no Dual IS. On your G7, there'll be no stabilisation at all.
I recently compared the 12-35mm with the 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 for casual street shooting:

Nice blog post. Plus nostalgic shots of Orchard during the holidays!
Agreed that for the budget given, a used 12-35mm F2.8 might be the best route to go. It's a great every day lens that generally gives excellent results, but I often find myself wishing for just a little more reach. After reading your blog post, I think I may need to go for the 12-60mm after all.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
