thank you all of U guys you the Best

I can't buy oly 75-300mm (high cost for me)

ammm the 45-175mm it's very nice lens (compact - high built quality ) but also high price

I know you give me the best zoom lens to choose but Unfortunately, I can't handle the price

I found the pany for 200 usd and oly for 165 usd

but the 45-175 is 2x cost more than pany 45-200

and oly 75-300 also cost more than 2x than the 40-150

so what the best between these 2 lenses :

pany 45-200mm vs oly 40-150mm ??

So the Question is now

PANASONIC 45-200 MM OR OLYMPUS 40-150 MM F4-5.6 .... ???

I am sorry but the pany 45-175 & oly 75-300 out of my range (my budget is limit by to $200 usd)

The Panasonic 45-200 has very good OIS whereas the Olympus has none. The IBIS in the EPM2 is mediocre at best. Also, the Panasonic OIS will give you a stabilized preview which the IBIS will not give you. So, you will be a lot further ahead by buying the Panasonic.

If you do buy the Panasonic, make sure you have Lens Priority turned ON in the EPM2's menu.

I find my copy of the 45-200 to be quite good at 200.
