Yes, Canon looks better to my eyes here. 1DX has about 1.6EV wider DR @25600 ISO and measeured ISO is higher (20708 ISO vs. 16117 ISO).

Not true, because 5D mkIII has better SNR and tonal range at every ISO according to DxOMark.  That is in screen mode, because in print mode image is scaled down to 8MPix so I wouldn't use that for...

Better DR with D800 applies only to low ISO (under 1600 ISO). Check DxOMark in screen mode. Higher than that, Canon wins. With high ISO D800 exhibits very annoying banding noise sometimes even...

Besides IBIS OM-D has also these advantages for still photography :
Flash sync 1/250s vs 1/160s on GH3
Continuous shooting 9 ftp vs. 6 fps

For ergonomics I don't find OM-D weak, except for play...

Sorry but EOS-M has lower IQ than OM-D EM-5 according to dxomark (65 vs. 71 pts). EM-5 has ca. 1.2EV better DR @ low ISO than EOS-M. EOS-M is only very slightly better at high ISO.

EOS-M lacks...

It is not a generic lens. It is wide angle lens with tilt and shift controls and two aspherical elements. Its tilt axis can be rotated separetely from shift axis. AFAIK only two native T-S lenses...

Commentators obviously didn't see the sarcasm included in my post. If this would have been MFT lens release, there'd have been endless equivalence discussions started by trolls. Still I think...

Oh, it equals about 21mm f4.5 lens on full frame. Not too fast for a 900$ lens.

Vignetting is also very extreme, whopping 1.34 EV @ f8.

Because there obviosly is none. Comparing the first shot, a $200 P&S would give you maybe 1/80s f4.0 ISO4000 shot at equal FOV with much worse background separation. ISO 4000 would look basically...

Ok, I'm interested which 200$ P&S gives you IQ of EPM-2 @ ISO 500 with Zuiko 45mm/1.8 @ 1.8? 200$ cameras with built in zoom lens have inferior speed at equal FOV.

Aperture can be set to fixed aperture on EF lens like this: 1. Mount EF lens on an EOS body and set the aperture via camera. 2. Press the DOF preview button down and simultaneously remove the...

You should switch to dxomark to "screen" mode. Print mode downscales images to 8MP or something. In screen mode photos are not downscaled at all. Difference is under 2 stops at base ISO in favor of...

I think I can spot several Nikkors too, which is more difficult because they're black ;) Anyway Canon sensors are (much) worse at low ISO with grid noise etc., but at high ISO (1600 and up) they...

The article gives quite rosy picture about Nikon D800, especially about Nikon's AF. D800 has less noise and better DR but only until ISO 1600. After that Canon 5DIII/6D and even 5D2 is better. Just...

I bet the difference between iPhone and D800/EM-5 would be very visible even with controlled lighting for several reasons. iPhone has a wide angle lens, which completely different than 90mm...

By judging hightlights these photos were propably shot 100% under flash lighting, so choice of shutterspeed would be largely irrelevant.

Except that D800 doesn't have 14.4EV DR in high ISO. After 1600 ISO it gets worse than competition from Canon (6D, 5DIII). According to dxomark (in screen mode) its DR is only 9 EV @ 3200 ISO and...
