Thank you. It's a start but truly the best way is to provide the raw files from your future experiments so we can either use OV3 to see what the camera would do, or use the raw converter of our choice to see what we would get out of the various cameras.

I understand your point, but I am responding to the OP's specific question about jpegs.

I already gave my unscientific view about E-M10 II versus E-P5 and I was disappointed by my somewhat rushed results in the garden.  I went through my past jpegs and could not find any direct comparisons between the cameras, and so far I have not saved RAW from the E-P5, which I acquired secondhand as a second body to my E-M10 II, on which I save RAW + Jpeg. I intend to redo my tests as my personal feeling is that this time the M10 came out worse than its siblings (which is not what I had noticed previously). If I remember, I will collect RAW from the Pen.

Straying from the original post somewhat, I know from your posts that you use E-P5s currently; that demonstrates the diversity of our community. I started out wanting to like the Pen, but the O-MD format seems to suit me better.  I had the chance recently of a weekend shooting with a Pen-F and an E-M5 II; to my surprise, I ended up preferring the M5 - but it was a marginal call, based as much on personal ergonomics as on results and some of my Pen-F shots are remarkable.
