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.

I think that the answer depends upon which MFT camera you actually own : thse having a GH3, E-Pm2, E-Pl5, E-P5 or an E-M5 already have a very good sensor, so they have little incentive to buy a new model, unless this model offers them other features they want (like an included VF in an RF body, or the hybrid AF, or better ergonomics). Having an E-M5 I don't think the sensor improvement of the E-M1 is enough to justify an upgrade.

However my olding E-P3 could be updated to the E-P5 with a lot of benefits. Although for the moment I av enough cameras around and I'm waiting to see when the price comes down.
