While hanging out with my brother, I snatched his Olympus OM-D (+PanLeica 25/1.4), inserted my card and grabbed some shots. I then took my Pentax K-01 (+DA21/3.2) and tried to grab the same shot. Both JPGs. Both ISO3200. Both F3.2. I’m not going to pixel peep here – the shutters were both very slow for the focal length, so any lack of sharpness could be a matter of IS, technique, or both.

What’s interesting is – color cast aside, the photos are really quite close. I could easily take one and with just a couple of quick Lightroom adjustments make it look like the other.
I had relegated my Panasonic GH2 and other M43 cameras to video duty only, but the OM-D has me thinking twice.
The good thing is – I neither need it or want it at the moment (the retro styling does nothing for me). So my credit card is safe, for now.
