I have an E-M10 II and an E-P5 - I have not done a back-to-back test of the same subject, but my instinct would be that the jpeg output of the M10 is sharper and more contrasty. If I get suitable conditions over the next few days, I will have a go at setting up a test.

I have just done a quick test in less than ideal conditions - the sunlight was not 100% constant so although most of the settings were the same, the shutter speed varied slightly - probably because my viewpoint shifted slightly - sorry about that.

As you can see, I used the 17/1.8 lens on 3 bodies - E-M10 II, E-P5 and E-M5 II and the results are not quite what I expected and I don't feel reflect what I know of the M10. I hope I can repeat the test in slightly more controlled conditions and a better subject matter.

Hi, thanks. Yes, jpgs are all I'm interested in. The test will need to be on a tripod though, so the framing doesn't change at all, since that can easily affect exposure and contrast. Also you might want to use a simpler scene, not one with complex fauna, I think it will be easier to compare contrast with larger elements in the picture.
