Does this camera come with the older 14-42 or the 14-42 II lens?

Since the introduction of the E-PL2, the kit 14-42mm lenses are all of the "II" variety. For the OMD, it's the 2.

As near as I can tell it is the same. Note: Canon came out with a new version of the same 55-250 lens with an STM motor so the older IS II version can be found for a good price. I am happy with my 55-250 IS II.

It depends on what you need it for. The 14-45 lens is one of the sharpest I own. It is a great walk around lens since it's focal range is very versatile. I also have the 45-150 which I use for when I need the extended range. If you're looking to get a lens to take shots of different things in different situations, get the 14-45. Take note that the 14-42 is a different lens. Not as Sharp as this one is.

the camera is a silver and came with 14-42mm lens, what I needed is an extra lens 14-140mm also silver, there are plenty of black lens, but none of the place sell the silver, professional store people said in US only sell the silver camera, not silver 14-140mm lens. so we gave up on this camera. sorry, kind of picky, but all silver lens and camera are we wanted.

It's also a smaller lens more in keeping with the idea of the compact camera. I ordered the kit with the 17mm since it includes the hotshoe finder so it's a better deal purchasing the 14-42mm lens separately than the other way around.

Mine was new and I LOVE it! We use it all the time, we had great lenses from our old Minolta film camera so we could transition over without an issue, best decision ever was to purchase this camera!

If you're referring to product code 8546B002 then it must be 2013 because we have plenty of that lens in stock and ready to ship.

Yes we have it, The problem or not is that we made a mistake . In this moment if you buy a GXV3672_FHD (ASIN: B00BREOSSI) from A1compras you will receive a GXV3672_FHD_36 (it comes with 3.6 mm lens). We sent by error 8 of this cameras to Amazon Warehouse instead the GXV3672_FHD. Only are 7 available at this moment 03/18/2014.

The "14-42m II" is the Movie-Still-Compatible (MSC) version. If there is not a "II", it is the earlier non-MSC version.

Hi, I was faced with the same dilemma last year. I chose 14-45. It is a sharp lens with good auto focus and stabilization. I use it mainly as a travel lens and photograph historical monuments.Prakash

I don't know, but the 14-40 is designated PRO and is sharp wide open. A F2 lens is often soft wide open. At 14mm my lens has little distortion if any and is sharp and contrasty at all focal lengths. Good luck on your decision!

Hi, the lens is Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 II R. Anyway, I've tried both and seems like there's no difference at all. I recommend that after you bought this camera, buy other lens to use instead of this one.

No. The kit 14-42mm is a manual zoom.I don't believe any of the zoom lenses for this camera are power zooms

If it were me, and if I I had to choose between them - I'd begin with the 14-45mm that you can still get new from Japan if you look around and get it for a reasonable price when they pop us from certain sellers. IMHO the 14-45 is a MUCH sharper lens than the 14-42. There is usually one or two 14-45 available "used" as an Amazon Warehouse deal, but I've found them to be new item returns in excellent condition and have had good really luck when I've ordered "used" from Amazon Warehouse on these lenses (especially when ordering micro 4/3 vs. taking a chance on a used Canon or Nikon lens).
