Hi guys.
I have just brought my first camera with interchangeable lenses after years of point and press and am struggling to get my head round the amount of options i now have. The first thing i have found is that lens the camera came with (Lumix DMC GF7) (12 - 32 lens) has a short zoom distance.
My daughter swims in lots of competitions and i struggle to get close to the action in both camera and video modes. I understand that the four thirds lenses are used by both Olympus and panasonic but panasonic image stabilisation is done via the lens whereas the Olympus is done via the camera body?
The first question i have really is, what would be the best budget zoom lens that would work in both camera and video modes. There seems to be so many choices its confusing to a newbie like me.
Thanks for any advice in advance
Syd
