But there's not been much in the way of samples or reviews yet. I've also been debating whether to upgrade from my FZ18 to Panny's M4/3 G1 or the Oly 4/3 E-620 and have been scouring flickr for birdy images. To be totally honest, I haven't been blown away by many of the photos I've managed to find from either of the two formats. I don't see that the image quality improvement is enough (for me) to justify the extra cost and weight of these systems and I'm certainly not in the market for a full size DSLR (OH has one Canon 30D and the 170-500 sigma- too heavy for me!). Certainly some of the best bird images are taken with high end Canons and Nikons and good glass but that's many times the cost of the superzooms. :t:You can check out my flickr galleries below. Most of the shots were taken with my FZ18.</blockquote>
