Apologies – I just re-read the article. Disregard my last post. Was reading a lot of reviews in different tabs and commented in the wrong place.

I agree with your conclusions overall, but the E-P1 is diffraction limited worse than even 10mp+ APS-C sensors. Ideally the test should have used the Olympus at around or below F/5.6. A bit of a downside really because I suspect many pancake and 4/3rd lens optimum sharpness would be around F/8 or above if not for the sensor pixel population.

Now, if Sigma or Fujifilm were to produce a 4/3rds camera with one of their sensors, boy do I think the lenses would benefit . Although less pixels for the auto-corrections for the current batch of 4/3rds lenses. A 4/3rds Foveon or SuperCCD camera would be a killer app.

Totally agree, love either DP offering for the IQ, and the portability too.

I love my DP1. I’m a pro but I don’t like to GEEK it about all the time. This is PORTABLE QUALITY.

I don’t see how this is a good comparison as the DP2 image is almost half the size of the olympus (in jpeg). What happened to the RAW files?
I’d say from the JPEG, that the olympus was giving better results (when you zoom in) but then the image is a lot bigger. Something wrong with this test.

@burkm Where have you found such a bargain? DP2’s price seems to have stuck around 500E afaik.

Well, considering the current bargains for the DP2 at EUR 289 (cash back), it’s *a lot* cheaper than an EP-1.
If you put this in the equation…
