Klaus Schroiff has just posted a detailed review of the new released Panasonic Lumix G 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S lens (Amazon/B&H/Adorama/eBay) at the Photozone. This new 5X zoom compact and light weather resisting lens has many pros.
Conclusions from Photozone :”The build quality of the Panasonic lens is pretty good. Rather than just using a plastics, Panasonic used a metal/plastic combination for the body based on a metal mount. ..The weather sealing is certainly a very welcome feature as well. AF operations are also silent (and accurate anyway). The Power OIS (image stabilizer) is efficient albeit a little inferior to -say- Canon or Nikon. However, at least Panasonic GX8/85/80 users can take advantage of dual IS (body+lens IS)....”
