Wildlife shooting... Super zooms vs m4/3

Hi,

I am wondering what would be more practical/useful for wildlife shooting since the cost is about the same:

1) Get a used FZ200 for wildlife shooting or

2) Get a used 100-300 lens for my G6 for the same reason?

I know quality would be better with the 100-300 but what about focus speed and generally speed of shooting?

Best regards

Hi again,

I still cant justify myself the buy of the 100-300 lens due to its size... I think if I buy it I wont use it so much...The price is 350€. Do you think its a fair price for this used lens?

Regarding the buy of a superzoom, you said FZ200 is slow with the TC attached. Without the TC however is much faster (2,8) and is still at the same fl with the 100-300 lens. With the TC it gets even further but also slower. I read somewhere that with the 1,7TC it slows down to f4 which is even faster than the 100-300...

Since size is a matter in my choices (main reason I dont like the FZ1000), I am also considering the Olympus Stylus 1. I can attach a TC on the Stylus 1 and reach an fl of 510mm with f2,8 which seems quite fast.

What do you think? Are my maths right? Am I missing something?
