E-M5 should have a different sensor than the other two doesn't it ? I thought they were using the older tech, as well as the older IBIS in the EPM and EPL models, so I'd expect them to have a bit lesser IQ as they are quite a bit cheaper than the flagship EM-5
The newest, EP-5, should have the same sensor as the EM-5, along with the same 5 axis IBIS, plus apparently even faster AF.
I would think sooner or later we will see the EM-5/EP-5 tech come down to the cheaper EPL level product, probably around the time a EM-6 is announced, which should probably have a better sensor, the faster AF of the EP-5, and probably a higher rez EVF as well.
I've had Olympus m4/3 models from the EP-2 and they follow a pretty predictable upgrade routine ...Show more →
Same sensor as E-M5, Oly only uses 2 different sensors in their m43 bodies, the old 12MP sensor from Panasonic and the new 16MP sensor from Sony. The E-PM and E-PL bodies have the old IS system, possibly a different processing chain and possibly a different AA filter.
Frankly I suspect Oly went for a stronger AA filter on the consumer models, which would fully explain the differences seen.
As to the E-M6, I'm expecting the new EVF, the general updates (AF), the new shutter from the E-P5 and a tweaked sensor with on-sensor PDAF and proper AF support for 4/3rds lenses (not expecting fast, just usable). I don't expect much in IQ increases over the E-M5.
