And it does matter the size: At least means less also becoming easier. In this comparison, the Panasonic is still quite a bit larger and exactly twice as heavy as the counterpart of Olympus. Although both are still far behind the rest of the competition, but here the Olympus nose has a clear lead.
Speed: In this area, the 40-150R is also better equipped. By K-AF camera are both equally accurate. However, the Olympus achieved the result is a whole piece more quickly. Also worth mentioning is the "volume" of the lenses when shooting video. Both are quiet, but the Olympus you do not hear at all, while the Panasonic gives a very soft sound.
Power: Looking at the zoom factor so is the Panasonic slightly forward. A factor of 4.4 is just better than a 3.8. But it comes at the expense of image quality. The more Zoom comprises a lens, the worse the quality. In everyday life, but you can tell the difference very seldom! Both depict on an extremely high level. Here a Canon may be 70-200 / 4.0 ranziehen to compare the two and see no worse from small! That is, considering the prices, absolutely amazing. Therefore, the Panasonic deserves loose 5 stars because the imaging performance is what counts!
Since we already talk about the price, so it is best to compare directly. The Olympus is always cheaper if you look at it usually only gets in the kit with a camera. The price is probably due her from the built-in stabilizer. The Panasonic is in fact the lens. At Olympus, he is in the housing. What you should know.
Ultimately, you write always a conclusion. In this case, it should, however, be clear. The Panasonic 45-200 is highly recommended and used without restriction to Panasonic and Olympus cameras! The price is really reasonable if you compare the image quality with higher priced telephoto zoom from other manufacturers. It might be faster, but the Panasonic distinguishes itself certainly on for its X series.
It gets in all cases an absolute buy recommendation because you can not go wrong here.
