the reason you where not impressed by the dfd and dual is at 300mm is because it is not supported on the 100-300mm lens old tech lens .

the is on the 100-400mm will be superior to a dslr Nikon ,canon if you wait for 5 axis ibis ,already here with g80 so will only get better look at the video it can produce at 400mm stunning.

like you say comparing a prime to zoom ,wonder how good the prime is when you run out of space and need to shoot 250mm it happens ,also changing to and from t/c can mean missed shots

think some one on another forum tested the Nikon 100-400 and 7100 ,Olympus zukio 55-200mm with 2x t/c and the pana leica 100-400mm

the pana leica out performed the above with the em-1

Are you sure it is 50% more pixels 24 to 20mp does not look like 50% to me
