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

[...] It's also small. It is in fact the smallest of all the 14-4x kit zooms.

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...

Ah, you're right of course. I forgot to mention I meant non-power zooms. Both Panasonic and Olympus make smaller pancake 14-42 power zooms (I bet that's what you saw). I actually have the Panasonic 14-42 PZ myself. Interestingly, in terms of image quality, it's pretty much the same as 14-42 II as far as I can tell. Maybe with a bit less purple fringing on the PZ one.

Don't think which lens is that important for buying. But IQ is, checked G3 and GX7, thought there would be more difference, but stabilization should mean a lot, for the 20 and 60mm. Could use lower ISO.
