Now - this is what I see in this comparison. I know that the E-1
is a pre production camera and the comparison might favour
the D100 for that reason. But this is what I see, and I hope that
you agree.
1. The lighter parts in the E-1 picture is blown out, the picture
is over exposed. This of course create some problems for
the quality of the E-1 picture.
2. The D100 has lots more detail - it is sharper. You can look at the
clock and the text. You can also look at the bricks. The difference
is (IMHO) very clear. The D100 is what I would expect from a
DSLR (with a larger sensor and a good lens). The E-1 is what I
would expect from a noticably smaller sensor or a not so good lens.
I have tried to use USM to make the E-1 picture as sharp as the
D100 picture, without any success.
This is of course if the D100 is to the left and E-1 to the right.
If it is the other way around, the quality is in favour for E-1.
And, I have no problems whatsoever with it being the other
way around. It would only be good if Oly surprised us with
a very good camera. Except maybe that the D100 lens quality
then would be surprisingly low.
