Just found a cheap Panasonic GX7 with a silver kit lens that could be this: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II ASPH Mega OIS

I bought this one for abut 150 EUR to replace Olympus 14-42 R II which came with my E-M10 and which I hated with a passion (also helped by the fact that my copy was garbage past 20mm). I like the Panasonic. For a cheapo kit lens, it performs well at all focal lengths and apertures and is build pretty well despite being all plastic. It's also small. It is in fact the smallest of all the 14-4x kit zooms. All good things.

Camera and lens is $250, in a store I know.

That's a very good price in my book.

Also been thinking of GM5, not often to be seen. I guess the GX7 EVF is bether and larger (using glasses).

I absolutely love my GM5. But yeah, EVF is not its biggest strength, especially for glasses wearers.

Interesting, but I have seen one 14-4x kit lens nearly as small as the 12-32? This was larger. Well anyway, the camera is cheap...
