I have a Panasonic DC-G9. I mainly take photos of animals (freehand) with a 45 - 150, which is no longer enough for me. I need a higher magnification: could the 100-300 be a solution?

Yes, it's a coherent solution for hand-held animal photography on your DC-G9. This lens is Micro Four Thirds mount, compatible with the Micro Four Thirds sensor, and features autofocus as well as optical stabilisation, with a focal length of 100 to 300mm.
Compared with your 45-150, you gain a lot in range: 300 mm corresponds to around 600 mm in full-frame equivalent on Micro Four Thirds, which is much better suited to distant subjects such as animals.
Points to bear in mind : - It's heavier, at 520g, so a little less compact to hold hand-held for long periods. - Its f/4-5.6 aperture is less bright at the zoom end, so you need good light or a higher sensitivity. - Several sources present it as a telephoto zoom suitable for wildlife and distant subjects.
If you're looking for more magnification without changing your system, it may be just what you're looking for.
