Impressive indeed. I'll wait to see other reviews, but this one seems very promising.
I may very well buy one as it would be my main lens for travelling.
This one as well as an Oly 9-18 and a Pana 20 1.7 would be the perfect travelling combo IMO.

Better performance, smaller volume, smaller weight. How does Pana make it possible?
Pana 14-140mm II vs Pana 14-140mm I
f3.5-5.6 f4-5.8
17 elements in 13 groups 14 elements in 12 groups
max magnification 0.2x max magnification 0.25x
75x67mm 84x70mm
265g 460g

Yes, it's impressive.
I wonder how much smaller/lighter it would have been if Pana hadn't included IS in the lens. It looks like their future bodies will feature in body IS (makes sense), so let's hope they will stop releasing in lens IS (simpler design, more reliable, cheaper and smaller).

I'm really looking forward to a photozone.de review of that lens.
Is it scheduled already?
I would be really interested what would be the better travel camera:
OM-D & 14-140mm II & low light prime (17mm Oly, 20mm Pana)
or
Nikon V1/2 & 10-100mm & low light prime (18.5 f1.8)
As both super zooms have a great reputation on photo forums... (they might be better than super zooms for bigger sensors).
