Ok, moose, I've got to say it. the difference in weight between the
panasonic and the oly is the difference between the weight of a flea and an
ant. I'm not sure I could tell the difference in them after a climb to the
top of mt. everest, but that probably would be because I would be dead then.

Different strokes ... The Panny is twice the weight and 2.5 times the volume
of the Oly. For me, that's the difference
between going in the bag and not. The Oly is amazingly small and light. Yes,
it gets longer in use, but it's space in
the bag that matters to me.
I'd rather have a 7-14, but a lens in the bag is worth so much more than one
at home on the shelf.

I think he's legit. He may not agree with one's own experience on occasion,
but the differences will be honest. I
suspect they are the same in IQ in practical use.
