Uggg... don't go with the Evolt. Seriously. Their 4/3 system introduces a crop factor of 2X. That's huge! Great for tele, but awful for wideangle.

Plus the lenses are amazingly expensive because they market and price their lenses as equivalents, not what they actually are.

Their 400mm lens is actually just a regular old 200mm, but the 2X crop factor makes it into a 400m, and so they feel justified to charge the 400mm price (which increases exponentially as focal lengths go up). There's really nothing special about these Zuiko lenses that the Canon L's or the Nikkor ED lenses don't have.
