Adorama now has the Panasonic GX1 body in both black and silver for $199, plus 2% back for good measure :).

This is probably the best mirrorless deal out there now.

You could get the 14-42 lens for about $130-150 new, but there are fairly frequent price drops on it (nothing that I could find at the moment though).

No 2% back either on Amazon.
But Tax for NJ for Adorama, so then Amazon would be better

In think so (I have the gx1)

Then yes.

The 14-150 (28-300 equivalent, around $600) is the most practical "big" zoom, as in it'll never have to leave your camera, since it covers everything from wide angle to telephoto.

The 45-150 (90-300 eqiv.) is the same at the long end, but it starts out links already. That means you'd constantly have to switch it with something like a 14-42. It's much cheaper at around $200. The 45-200 is similar but longer for an extra $80.

Hmmm....
Definitely not looking to spend $600 (considering I spent only $200 $0 (dropped it and broke the touch screen and amex reimbursed the whole cost) on the camera and the only thing in know how to do with it is change the scene mode)
Not even sure I want to spend another $200. I guess I'll wait

I know exactly what you mean, but such is the case :(. Unless there's a crazy deal or a really good find on Ebay, I don't think you'll find anything cheaper.
