Please note, that due to marketing reasons Olympus is cheating with OMD's ISO. They simply call 1600 as 3200, 3200 is marked as 6400, etc, so you should compare apples to apples when reading reviews.

There is no cheating there.

"As we saw in an earlier article, the ISO definition used when you take photographs is based on the brightness of the resulting JPEGs, not on any inherent property of the sensor. Which is something to remember whenever you see anyone talking about manufacturers ‘cheating’ on their ISO figures."

I would suggest reading about this topic, you can start with THIS Richard Butler's article.

Unless I missed it, I'm surprised you didn't mention the one reason for choosing the E-M5 that most any Pentax owner would agree with -- if you only shoot JPEG photos, Olympus has arguably the best JPEG engine of any camera manufacturer.
