Hum. I think the 14-45 by pasonic is suppose to be the lens most people recommend as the best 'kit' zoom.  From forums it is definitely better than the 12-50. Anyways most of the zooms are kind of sucky - though I hear good things good things about the 35-100 and hopefully the 45-175 will turn out decent.

But yea I said the same thing most of you are saying about the 12-50; kind of sucks - not sure if it is due to size constraint (it is a bit smaller than the 12-60) or whatever.
