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. A bit smaller than my old 14-42 kit lens. The seller not sure. So are there other silver large 14-42s? And if it's this lens, how good? Compared to the 12-32 (which I hope to get with a body.)? Only got the oldest one, not good.

Camera and lens is $250, in a store I know. GX7 is high on my list, I like the EVF and stabilization, and only got G3 and GX1. The alternative is body only with 3 batteries for $220. Not the same battery as in G3/GX1?

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

I'd wait till you have camera and lens in hand.  Then see if you like the lens or not.  If not, and you want something other than what you have, the Panasonic 12-60 or PanLeica 12-60 would be a good investment for now and future cameras.  Or, add in a prime or 2.
