The E-1 is a 2X crop though, yes? I can't keep it in my head how this
affects things. I mean, in the end, if it is a 2x as opposed to 1.3X there's
a lot less sensor there, no? (as you said, 'sensor size") -- but how does
that affect images? Also, for your take on it to be true, one would have to
shoot exlusively in RAW and avoid all the firmware differences that would
obtain, yes?

I ain't got no M8, I got a micro 4/3. So I don't have a dog in this fight
that YOU"VE STARTED.
