Panasonic and Olympus have shown some commitment to the system with the number of cameras that have been released. However I suspect that their target market is not really long lens users. As the system continues to grop and increase in popularity one of the third party lens manufactures will no doubt offer a range of lenses in m4/3. The Panasonic 45-200 is (I think) the longest m4/3 lens currently available, it's a decent lens but a bit on the short side for many birding situations. As and when the rumoured 100-300 arrives it could offer a much more usable birding set up.</p></blockquote><p></p>
