The EOS 450D's higher pixel count (and what we presume to be a weaker AA filter) pays off and the Canon produces crisper and visibly more detailed output than the Olympus (though as usual Canon's default sharpening is a lot higher too). Like the Nikon D60 the Canon slightly boosts the greens to deliver more appealing foliage green for landscape shots.
