Hi Bob, again.
As your comment that some sample pics were deleted was so intriguing for me , I continued the search and found all the four pics deleted.
It's amazing that there are always some guys who download those pics.

The exif data show;
these pics were taken on June 30, arund eight o'clock in the morning. Manual exposure, f/8, 50mm focal length, multi-segment metering

and

for the #1 pic: 1/8 sec. ISO200
#2: 1/15 sec. ISO 400
#3: 1/30 sec. ISO 800
#4: 1/60 sec. ISO 1600

For me, not very strict on this issue, up to ISO 400 acceptable but for ISO 1600, definitely not.

A seemingly older hobbyst gives an interesting comment for me. Looks like a long time film user. He says he does not care about banding at high ISOs as he knows he uses lower ISO only.

Those who are looking forward to another 4/3rds camera have tendency to expect that Leica's kit lens is sold separately. Some others agree with it and add that the price should be significantly lowered even by deleting the Leica logo. I know there are also some other people who but it because it is a Leica lens.
An argument that never ends.

p.s. these "sample" pics were taken by the website and not by Panasonic, as you know quite well.
