Still none for NX20/200/210/1000, maybe some day. My guess is it will perform somewhere between the old NX and Sony 16 mp APS-C level, maybe around a 70 or so if I had to guess? Remember, the DxOMark scores can be a bit misleading. You need to take into consideration the score and the sensor size and number of pixels, and they don't consider things like resolution.

The new OMD is nice, but it is still a smaller sensor. You have to enlarge the image more to get to the same size print or image on the screen, and it won't have as much flexibility with depth of field. In real world pictures I doubt it would be better than the Canon APS-C sensors.

Given two sensors with similar performance based on DxOMark, like the OMD vs 7D, and I would take the one with the larger sensor for better image quality. Now, maybe it is a good sign that you don't have to have mediocre image quality going to m4/3 (I always thought even ISO 200 was too noisy on my EP1).

For lenses equivalent to the OMD lenses, I paid quite a bit less for my Samsung. Would I still like the OMD? Sure, I think it is a gorgeous camera, but still think I would get a fuji x series instead.
