i'm considering buying a Panasonic G3 or an Oly PL5 - any thoughts or recommendations?

There has been a lot of speculation about the G5 sensor, some of it very specific, and most of it by people who have no information. Forgive me if I offended you. I thought you were making a joke.

All we know for sure from Panasonic is that the G5 sensor like the GH3 sensor are "derived from the GH2" and that all three have on-board A/D converters. We also know that the G3 sensor is all-analog like the G1 and G2. According to Panasonic, putting the A/D conversion on the sensor reduces noise. The G5 and GH3 also share the same signal-processing engine.
