two images..one from my old D800 and 24-70 F2.8 and the newer one a little over two years later with a Em1 and 40-150 f2.8..same hotel pool, same sunnies !! ..same women similar pose different look !.. gotta love the cameras ..just a bit of fun, no comparo ..both smallish Jpegs and been through the same processing with retouch etc

As a portrait the second image looks poorer in just about every way, not the lovely model I hasten to add :-). It has rather harsh contrast, giving a dark and somewhat muddy background.

Jim, none of the differences you mention in your comments/comparisons could possibly be because the light is different, different exposure parameters, different metering, etc, etc ... Must be the "inferior" camera/lens ...
