Good news for those who stuck with Olympus!

The OMD is showing the same banding as every other Panasonic sensor does in the shadow areas or in images where a bit too much shadow lifting was done. Also the normal noise pattern is identical with what I have seen from the E-3 and other Oly cameras. Really, the ISO noise is not very similar to the Sony sensors at all in my opinion.
