Hi Chuck,
Surely there are other factors in the equation than simply sensor
size. No one doubts that that must be one factor, but the only one?
I guess we won't know until the E-thing has been Deep Peeve Viewed. I
am not yet prepared simply to believe that nothing good can come from
Olympus in this area, but that doesn't mean it would have to be the
equal of the 5D. High ISO noise reduction is not terribly high on my
list, as I suppose I may have said ad nauseum.
