[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 469968, member: 4399"] Since that post and many images, I'm finding similar results as you have mentioned in the noise area. As far as highlights, using an ISO of 200 as a base has actually helped in PP, I could have done that with Nikon and had more latitude in post. It really comes down to the quality of the individual shot. The m4/3 sensor is a very close second to Nikon Dx, but obviously you'll get superior results with the D600 and above. Larger sensors will always be more forgiving. Form factor won me over and I really like the 2x crop for wildlife, the increased DoF is a benefit too (or a curse for some). The smaller 2.8 pro zooms are fantastic. On the negative side, Oly is still using 3 year old sensors, I think the next generation will be a huge step forward. I'm considering the EM 5 Mk II which has a 40 mp high resolution mode, for still life only, but it holds it's own against the D810 in that area.
