First I was about to get Panasonic for my compact camera some time ago.
Then the troubles with the shutter vibrations and image stabilization interacting were brought up in the forum. These things progressed with Olympus and Panasonic since. I ended up with Sony system. The Sony gave me compatibly with another brand telephoto, which includes IS function, and it had the Touit 32 which for my preferred apertures with this lens has no equal (especially great at f2.2 - f4/5.6 for all usual aspects of IQ). The NEX 6 that I am using would make use of improvements but I am patient. Camera coming after a6000 looks like the upgrade.
I still admire Panasonic for having the edge in camera manufacturing so continually.
