The Olympus M.Zuiko ED 75-300mm f4.8-6.7 II is spec'd as a m4/3 lens. It appears to be a tad smaller and lighter, based on a dpreview.com comparison, but it remains a half-stop slower than the Panasonic.
Right, that's what I was trying to say. The Oly 75-300 is micro four thirds and slower, the 75-300 is four thirds and the same aperture as the Pany 100-300. I'm a sucker for aperture. The 75-300 would put you at ISO 2400 (or 2500) when you could be at 1600.
No hood supplied with the Oly... cheesy...
But, it could all come down to handling and interface.

An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.
