Olympus did come out with another kit-type lens in the same vein as the 14-45, but I've seen little of it here in the USyet. The two are probably close in terms of build quality and (likely) optics. Given the 14-45 is slightly wider I'd tend to go with that choice. The other lens isn't even listed on the Olympus America website here:

I'm sure the other lens is the one I'm thinking because the only other maker of lenses to fit these cameras right now is Sigma, and it's not a Sigma lens.

Check out the info on the17.5-45 lens. I think that's it.

Looks like you're having fun! Both with the camera and your little one. Enjoy it. My daughter turns 18 next week- it goes real fast.

My daughter turned 17 just last December. Unfortunately both kids are away at school
in the US, so we only see them once a year.

Hi,I am not sure if you solved your problem.I was encountering the same problem - the following seems to helped:- If you are in Vivid mode - try natural mode- download the 1.2 firmware updateYou should also bring your camera to the camera centre and try it with their higher end Zuiko lenses...see if the above works...goodluck.
