I recently did a direct tripod mounted comparison shootout between my DP2M, 16MP m4/3 camera and 20MP 1" sensor FZ1000 bridge and could see absolutely no difference in image quality between them in the prints I made. None.

The lens on my DP2M is much better than the lens on my FZ1000.   I owned a Leica with a fantastic Summilux lens for many decades and I loved the sharpness and detail I got from that camera and that has become a benchmark for me.  The pictures from my DP2M can be beautifully sharp, as good as the Leica but the pictures from my FZ1000 always leave a little to be desired.  How much of that difference is due to the sensor and how much due to the lens is hard to say, but I do know that when I take both the DP2M and the FZ (or my NEX 7) on a trip, my favourite pictures invariably come from the DP.

I don't know what you mean by "quality", and I don't know how big you print,  and I don't know your subject matter but there must have been some slight differences between the prints.  Three different lenses, sensors, and developing softwares should have produced slight differences in the final results even though all three systems are very good.  Did you mean that the prints were identical, or did you mean that you liked them all equally?
