nobody should deny the utility of more pixels when theyre needed, but it has to be remembered that you are carrying a camera burdened by higher diffraction (please DO NOT try that 2 stops up rule for diffraction)

The resolution takes care of it quite nicely. And I suppose you would not be comparing OM-D5 to this,

and a camera more sensitive to shake.

I did not experience, nor see it as a problem yet. I suppose they mean when compared to D700, which I skipped. What I can say with certainty is that it gives me more keepers than what D300 was, and that was not a bad camera to begin with.

In the end you dont need numbers, you need eyes

It is an empty statement when you do not display images proportionally.

no NR, no BS and mess, just as it displays

resize is an inefficient way of decreasing noise,




This looks like the worst example,

So I downloaded the RAW files from both, OM-D5 ISO1600 and D800 ISO 6400, in Adobe CR (whatever the latest is) downsized D800 to the size of 100% OM-D5, this is what I get,

Up-sampling OM-D5 to the size of D800 (going the other way) leaves noticeably more detail in the Nikon image. As expected. So what you see is simply more information in D800 file, which in turn makes it easier to clean and sharpen when needed.

One note, I think I said it many times already, Capture NX is what Nikon users should use (and most of them do), not Adobe. It is simply a better NEF converter than Adobe alternatives. I do not not know what it is for Olympus cameras.
