I previously demonstrated that no one can tell the difference between an LX7 and an m43 camera with the Lecia 25mm lens:

Your test is flawed straight away the moment you scaled both of those images down for the web... first of all give us the actual RAW files and ask the question again, or at the very least, hand over the metadata you removed. Strike three is where you've shot in conditions that you know the LX7 can handle.

Your thread has no relevance to this discussion or any other.

I posted good-sized 1280x960 images, not tiny Instagram-sized images.

So you are effectively saying that we can't tell them apart in a 1 MP image. Those who want better resolution than a 1 MP image can provide, however, have no difficulty telling an LX7 image from an MFT image, as readily exemplified here:

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison?attr18=lowlight&attr13_0=panasonic_dmclx7&attr13_1=oly_em1&attr13_2=panasonic_dmcgm1&attr13_3=oly_epl5&attr15_0=raw&attr15_1=raw&attr15_2=raw&attr15_3=raw&attr16_0=80&attr16_1=100&attr16_2=200&attr16_3=200&normalization=full&widget=1&x=0.6055639097744361&y=-0.18103755263187557

That was the point of the comparison, and not to pixel people at the RAW files. If you can't tell the difference at that size, you likely won't be able to tell the difference looking at an 8 x 10 print or on an iPad.
