I used to own an EM-5 and think while it has pretty good per pixel sharpness (m4/3 has come a long way) its simply not going to match the DP\'s, any more than its going to match a M9 or D800e.
Its not going to be bad, but I just don\'t see how a 16meg sensor with AA filter is going to be able to match an X3 sensor or other AA-less cameras.
If the EM-5 could be argued as matching the detail of the DP2M, then it could also be argued that other 16 meg sensors, such as the Fuji XE-1/XPro can also match the detail of the DP2M doesn\'t it ?
Based on samples I\'ve seen, that is simply not the case.
Realistically, if a EM-5, or XPro or NEX5n or any other 16meg sensor could match the X3, then why on earth would anyone be talking about/buying the Merrill\'s ?
EM-5 has a better LCD that is a touch screen and that tilts, a nice EVF, fast AF, great IBIS, excellent battery life, ability to change lenses, you name it.
Its on better camera in every possible measure than the DP2M, except for the issue of IQ
Its that big jump in IQ though that makes people willing to live with what is otherwise a pretty poor camera.
How can you compare the E-M5 mounted with the 75mm-er, that is brand new, if you do not have the camera, and then write it in the way you did ?
But this lens is nothing but fantastic, I was one of the first to get it, and it can compare with the mighty Nikon 200mm f/2.0VR exept for continous shooting, but that is also more of a camera-\"thing\")
Here is one test, but you can find many more, and they all say the same. As I recall SLRGear wrote it was one of the sharpest lenses they have ever tryed, and the lens means a lot, as you of course know.
