EF 100-400 is 2x more expensive than 50-200 from Olympus. Flash is cheaper too. 50/2 macro has MSRP 200$ than EF 100/2.8. 300/2.8 has not even anything comparable at the competition - oh, sorry Canon EF 600/4 has MSRP 12000$ - about 4000$ more than Olympus lens... So suggested prices for E-system are even lower than those of competition. The only question is - how much will they drop down in the shops?
