Well, something clearly is . . . . . . . but hang on!I find it troubling that for the Martini logo, the E-5 seems to be sharper, but is not in the rest of the photo (I think). The difference is particularly striking for the paper clips - is the plane of focus different?
This is all about angels dancing on the heads of pins. Even if you assume that the dpreview shots are perfect . . . we're still only talking about one lens in one set of lighting at one distance. . . . . . and we're pixel peeping at 100%.
Surely this has very little to do with real life shooting.
I think the truth is that all these cameras will do a grand job - from the E5 to the 7D and everything inbetween. Some will be better with one lens in a certain set of circumstances, and others in others.
For me? I want small and weatherproof, so the K5 is fairly obvious - others have other priorities and so other cameras will be the right answer - Peter has lots of Nikon Glass, so the D7000 is obvious Jorgen wants those Zuiko lenses (and who can criticise that).
Each camera has it's good and bad points . . . . but I'm not sure that one can gather too much from those 100% crops at dpreview, and it seems to me that Bernard's observation rather proves the point.
I'm off to bed . . . have a good week everyone!
