Those are outstanding! And handheld! It's hard enough
on a tripod.
I am not a pro, so $5,000 lenses are out of the question.
I am thinking either the em5 or em10.

The most expensive lense in the Olympus arsenal is the 300mm f4 at $2500. The same f stop and field of view lense in Nikon or Canon is $9000 to $12500. Although there is nothing wrong with the E-M10mrII, I suggest getting the E-M5mrII. It is splashproof and will allow you to go shooting even in the rain. To keep the camera totally sealed though, you need to get the sealed or splashproof Panasonic or Olympus lenses. An image, if properly shot, can be printed as large as 20 X 30.

Thanks- I was very pleased with the butterfly- only time for a quick snapshot. The IS may not be up to current standards on the Panasonic 100-300 but they're pretty good for the cost.
I would go for the em5 if affordable- splash proof saves a lot of worry. The Mk II looks wonderful, though I've not handled one yet.

Well, you've all helped me make my decislon. I will get the new m5-ll, 100-300mm-ll lens, and my carry around camera will be zs-100.
Well, both of them will be my carry around cameras.

Be sure to read the manuals. It will be very dry reading, but I found there were many moments later on that I would say to myself, "Wasn't there something in the manual about that?" I can promise you it will help you to get the most out of your E-M5mrII and 100-300mm lense. Have fun with your new camera once you get it in your hands.

If you change your mind on the em5ii, I know of a certain someone (ahem, me) selling their em1 setup.
