Wow, thanks for those full size images. Very mipressive, I must say.
I have been planning on getting the GH3 + the XE-1 for resolution and high ISO, but now I'm starting to think that maybe I should just put the XE-1 money towards lenses instead. Seems to me like the sharpness and detail in the GH3 images are holding up quite well to the XE-1.. Hmm..
The way I see it is there are more high quality lenses for M43s. Which means that the Fuji system is good but (at present) niche.
The absolute image quality from the Fuji sensor is definitely superior (even approaching some FF sensors) but it is limited by lack of lenses and focus speed. I really like the new 18-55 Fuji zoom (I own an X-Pro1 too) and the 35mm lens is stellar but for all round use I would flip for a GH3 or E-M5. The focus speed issue seems to have been related to some design decisions around the original three lenses that I find questionable.
Fuji X is a much younger camera system than m43, but what the X Lens Roadmap is really impressive with fast lenses like the 14 2.8, 23 1.4, 27 2.8 pancake, 56 1.4, 18-55 2.8-4 OIS, 10-24 f4 OIS and 55-200 3.5-4.8 OIS to go along with the 18-35-60 they already have.
For general photography (non-sports or action) AF speed is more than adequate for me. The new zooms with improved motors should make AF pretty much a non-issue.
While the 12-35 is merely very, very good, IMHO the 35-100mm and the 75mm are practically reasons to buy into the system by themselves. The 75 puts some Leica glass to shame. I have a similar regard for the 7-14 (if only it didn't have the flare issues).
I can't think of many Leica lenses that the 75 1.8 puts to shame (especially when you start talking DOF and equivalency), but I agree that the 35-100 2.8 is the premier telephoto zoom in m43 right now. It's an expensive lens (some would say overpriced relative to FF equivalents) but in m43 where fast telephotos (200mm and up) just don't exist, the 35-100 2.8 is a great addition to the m43 lineup.
