Nice pics Julian. I recognise my hometown, Truro, and the busker is sitting on the edge of High Cross
I think I have viewed an image of youre's a while ago, curious as I new the location then seeing your website, found the connection with Cornwall. I have not got many of Truro with the OM-D. Have plenty with the 5DMK2, especially the torch parade which went through the city in 2012.
You will recognise these location and the guitarist.
The hard part was getting candid shots without visitors in the frame. The narrow view of long lenses helped. EM-5 with Olympus 75mm; 75-300mm II; 17mm f/1.8. Some of the re-enactors were caught with out-of-character objects like a plastic water bottle, a point and shoot, an iPhone, etc. Hilarious stuff. It was a nice day out.
Maybe this has been asked before, (dozens of pages back) so excuse me for asking again - how large of a print can one expect to see from the OM-D? Would detail hold up at say a 16x24?

I sincerely doubt anyone is going to be able to answer your question. It depends on what you expect from a 16x24 print. If you asked Ken Rockwell ten years ago he would tell you a 4MP compact will print beautiful 20x30s. I was in the Smithsonian a few years ago and they had a Nation Geographic contest gallery on display - there was a 72x48 print from a compact camera. Obviously the standards of most people here would differ dramatically from that. Even so, there would be those that print m43 to 20x30 and those that would consider nothing short of an IQ160 to be adequate for a magazine cover.
I'd suggest grabbing a RAW file from the studio shots at either DPR or IR and printing out one yourself through your usual workflow and deciding for yourself.
