On the whole 14-140 debate...
I'd say it really depends on what your uses for the camera are going to be. For narrative style projects...it seems a lot of people go with Nikons/assorted primes.
But...if you think you will ever be travelling and want ONE camera/ONE lens to take photos and video in a seamless fashion with a great range, OIS, AF....the 14-140 is unbeatable in that respect.
Also the 14-140 is great shooting something like outdoor music fetivals/events.
To the member who said they were a hobbyist....(esp. since the GH2 is so hard to find) - The GH1 is still one incredible camera (hacked or not) and at the prices it's selling for you really can't go wrong. The 720P mode's are great and with a couple of faster lenses and the 14-140 for all around work the GH1 is a nice inexpensive kit that can truly compete with cameras costing a lot more.
