I absolutely agree.  I know that I'd like to have better high-iso performance, 
however...

There is something I've noticed about the E-1 as well as the E-300.  When 
pushed to the limit, the noise is linear.  xMOS sensored cameras have a 
non-linear noise-floor.  In the shadows you can see harsh steps in the shadows. 
It's clean down to a certain point then you immediately fall over the edge.

It isn't "cleanliness" that is important as much as the quality of the dirt.  
I'll take the E-1's dirt anyday over the E-3's dirt.  It is amazing what ISO 
2000 looks like, but you can't do anything with it in post because of the harsh 
transition.

But to put things into perspective, The E-1 at ISO 800 produces cleaner images 
than Fuji 100 does in 35mm format.
