Re: Advice please on G80 or G90 and 24-140 lens

Thanks for all the advice.  Sounds like the quality will be much better than I am used to. From what you say the 14-140 sounds good.

The lens is Lumix G vario 14-140 3.5-5.6 Power OIS, dual stabilisation.  So I presume that is the one before the newest one.

I  live over 200 miles from London so no go on your offer Sranang Boi, thanks all the same.

I saw saw the £495 link on here but when I followed it to Amazon, the price was £849, so they must have changed it by then, shame.

I prefer the grip of the G80/90, feels much safer and more comfortable.

I use the 100-300 for shooting birds, animals, but still needs alot of cropping.  I have old 4/3rds Oly 75-300,  Oly 18-180? and Sigma 90m Macro lenses.  It would be great if I could use the Macro on the Panasonic.  Have to see how expensive an adaptor is these days.

I don't do alot of video.  Don't know if it will be a problem.  Was there a good reason to crop on the G90?

I have looked at Photospecialist before and they are in the Netherlands, and I wasn't too keen on buying from abroad.

G90 and 12-60 lesn £999 or G90 and 14-140 lens £999.  So seems to be a good deal, but still alot of money, to wait or not to wait.  I am terrible at making decisions and then miss the deals.

Again thanks for the advice.
