Oly is not doing well, Panasonic seems to have a better handle on it though (Considering they're introducing the first fast normal prime with Leica only now). The main issue with 4/3rds is sensor noise, the smaller sensor just doesn't have the noise performance of the larger DX sensors at similar MP. And that was compounded by using relatively high nosie Kodak and Panasonic sensors. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
