Well, it seems that the two best sensors will be on the Olympus EM1 and on the Panasonic Lumix GX7, the same for the processing engines.

Of course these cameras also have other attractive features but now we are only talking about the sensor.

That said who will spent money for a bit better sensor and who will keep the current camera/s.

When a new camera is out, there's a lot of marketing hype around it : better sensor, faster AF, ...

But often, after independent tests has been done, it is showed to be only marketing hype.

About sensors, I would wait for DXO ratings. I know DXO doesn't tell the whole story (only RAW numbers) but it's the best source to see if there's a real improvement or not.

In the meantime, I'll stay with my current and very enjoyable cameras (GH2 and EM-5).

True we only know they are a bit better from some samples and previews, but I hope soon we will see full reviews of these two cameras.
