If you value compactness, and are willing to shoot at a narrower aperture for maximum image quality, it delivers images that are just a bit sharper than the similar Panasonic Lumix G X Vario PZ 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 ASPH.$144.95 at Amazon If you value image quality over size, consider the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-50mm f3.5-5.6 EZ$357.09 at Amazon, which offers a longer zoom range, a weatherproof design, and a macro shooting mode.
