.....But it is definitely much faster on acquiring focus and taking the shot, so much so that single shot almost is as good as burst mode in the old FZ18.
There are still lots of things I have not figured out how to handle yet.

What lens do you use Niels? There is a 300mm for this system right?
There is a 100-300 mm zoom from Panasonic and a 75-300 mm from Olympus (without IS as that is built into the camera body of olympus cams) if I remember correctly. I have a pana camera so the Pana zoom was my choice. (and I complement with the 14-140 mm, which is rather heavy but does a good job of the shorter FL).
Both of the photos that have been uploaded was with the 100-300 at close to 300 mm (the heron definitely at 300). Remember the 2x crop factor for m4/3 cameras.

Yeah I know, It makes the 300mm very useful. Please let us know how you like it further on!
The locust in this image also illustrate the point of less depth of field compared to superzooms. I have other photos where the eye is less in focus and the side above the second leg is better focused.
And then to think that some photographers complain of the DOF being too large in cameras with this sensor compared to Nikon/Canon cameras 8-P
