Lens advice for First camera

[infernox]

Hopefully Phates about. He still owes me that beer. He can answer something for me.

I'm looking at getting a camera for an upcoming trip to Iceland.

Bit confused on the lenses?

The Olympus E-PL7 comes with two kit lense options.

1. 14-42mm kit lens
2. 14-42 pancake lens

What is the difference between the two? They both will cost me about the same at £250.

Thanks

Trying to find that out is proving difficult.

Pancake says this. Pancake ED 14-42MM 1:3.5-5.6 EZ
Normal says this. 14-42 1:3.5-5.6 II R

Looking around reviewers are mentioning you can't manual focus on the pancake?

 

[infernox]

Smaller and lighter yes, but would not being able to focus manually be a problem?

Also anything better than the E-PL7 for £250?

 

[infernox]

So get the pancake one then?

Well it looks like I will buy the E-PL7 with Pancake lens.

Silver or Black guys? Gonna try and get some freebies chucked in too
