You're right about the sensors, but as regards to RAW I couldn't comment (I'm not into post-processing so only use JPEGS). But purely in terms of low-light performance the Oly took shots I would never have got with the G3. I don't know if the Oly's IBIS is better than the Panasonic's OIS or what, but it just totally out-classed it in low-light situations.

Like I said, Oly jpeg is in general, thought to be superior to Panny's. Panasonic has certainly caught up mostly to Oly these days but at that time...

But I'm a RAW type of person, and given RAW images, the difference between the E-PM1 and G3 should favor the G3, if not, at the very least come out as a tie.

As for IS...the IBIS for the E-PM1 was, I think, subpar to Panny OIS...or was that the E-PL1? Sorry, can't remember but one of those had a problematic IBIS. Hmm...actually, probably the E-PL1? Ug, getting old...can't remember.
