Old news my friend... The main problem is the use of micro 4/3 lens mount
with an even higher crop factor (3x). That makes it completely unusable
unfortunately. There is no wide lens out there to put on this camera,
even the Olympus 12mm will be seeing the 35mm crop.
Sorry, but no, thanks...

You'll lose pocketability, but you can put a 7-14mm lens on it which is still plenty wide even with a 3x crop. With all of the C-mount adapters that are out there for Micro 4/3, you can also put manual C-mount lenses that are much smaller with 8mm focal lengths.

I was as impressed as you are when the announced it, I even
pre-ordered it the first day. Then I started to research the lenses
and it's not up to the quality I'm looking for.
Old C-mount lenses are not really what I would like to shoot with.
Panasonic 7-14 zoom is huge, so the whole pocket idea - out the window.
Plus using a 7mm lens to see a 21mm field of view is really strange
to me and not something I would consider practical.
A 50mm lens sees a 150mm crop. Too far from a "normal" view.

The Panasonic 7-14mm lens is HARDLY huge. It's not pocketable while mounted on the camera, but seriously, the lens is 3.5 inches long and weighs less than 10.5 ounces. It's by far the smallest and lightest super-wide zoom lens I've owned for any camera I've used. And in use, since you are viewing through the lens, you don't have to worry about doing the math multiplying by three as you are shooting. The fact that you think it's strange doesn't actually affect anyone else's actual shooting with it. Take the lens off and it's as pocketable as the camera body is without any lens on it.

If you compare it to say, a Tokina 11-16mm or 12-24mm APS-C lens, the Panasonic is about an inch shorter snd weighs about half as much. And BTW, it covers a quite useful range from very wide 21mm equivalent FOV, to near normal 42mm FOV.

BTW, Olympus' 9-18mm lens is even smaller and lighter than the not at all huge Panasonic 7-14mm.

Gotta love this bit of marketing fluff on their site: "With its extremely compact size, you can covertly shoot important and historic events such as wars, protests and other conflict..."
