the funny thing is, that the same review stated that the E-PL7 and EM10 were a notch below the E-PL5 in terms of DR and high ISO noise.

They actually had a side by side comparison of the E-PL5 and 7.

In real life the Sony 16MP sensors are rather good and only the devoted pixel peepers worry about noise, the rest of us just use the results we get and maybe use noise reduction in a few rare cases. If printing big then some noise helps the print look better, noiseless big prints are sometimes disturbingly "digital" to look at. Some pro printing labs confess to adding noise to images when printing to improve the result.

Yep, and the same can be said of sharpening, when an image is too "sharp" it looks very artificial.

The comparison reviews are on Imaging Resource.

Question, speaking of settings, do you have your camera set to: Contrast, Sharpening and Saturation all -2 and Noise Filter to off?
