Differences are not much on IQ, about 2/3 better on the OMD. But I think it is not fair to compare with a G5 that is a much cheaper camera. You should compare OMD to the Panasonic Lumix GH3.


Logically, some who contemplate a camera purchase and like the looks/features of the G5 might ask, "How much will I really lose in image quality by not shelling out more $$$ for the OMD?" It is a logical question that begs an OMD versus G5 comparison. What is "not fair" about that?

I mean not fair to compare only because they are not on the same range, but  I understood what you mean.

I own a G5 and love it, but sometimes wonder whether the EM5 would offer improvements in image quality that would warrant the expense. Increasingly, I am inclined to conclude -- No. My money would be better spent on other things. The camera and lenses I already own are capable of spectacular results. Rather than fetishizing about small improvements in image quality, I should just go out, take pictures, and become more of a master of the equipment I already own.

That is the important, to mastering the gear we have.
