Great if you can manage to carry the size the weight and afford the price. Perhaps the m4/3rds format has the potential to be the better bet for wildlife photography in the future because is substantially less in all of the above categories? Think how much smaller a 200mm/f2.8 could be in m4/3 and consider it would have the same equivalent focal length or for smaller still consider a 150mm/f2.8 or 300mm equiv for really compact tele and just add a 1.4x entendar to get to 450mm equivalent? The problem is not the potential as m4/3 users of legacy lenses with adapters have shown, but the delay of both Oly and Pany to make such products available in the first place.
For telephoto m 4/3 lenses are just as large.
