Hello Anders,

As far as I know, the best MFT sensors are on the E-M5/E-PM2/E-PL5/E-P5/GH3. Exactly how the sensor performance of the GX7 and E-M1 compares is not really known yet, but based on what is known at this point, it seems unlikely to be significantly better.

Looking at the Image Quality page of the E-M1 preview where the GX7 image is shown along with the E-M1 and E-M5, the GX7 image looks less sharp than the others. Of course, that could be caused by the lens, but at this point I'm not convinced the GX7 sensor is all that good. I'll look forward to the full reviews.

The EM1 has no Low pass filter, the GX7 has, that might be the difference, or "bad" samples.

I like better to have a not so strong Low pass filter than none.

In addition, the E-M5 image looks sharper than the E-M1. Could these be lens or focus issues?

Regards,
Clayton
