A believable comparison.  Both cameras have approximately the same pixel 
pitch (E-1 = 6.8 microns, 40D = 5.7 micron).  That would seem to 
slightly favor the E-1 but, of course, the Canon has the advantage of 
four additional years of sensor/firmware development.  Hmm.  Does it 
take four years to gain one stop on noise?
