Olympus seems a better choice because it has a better image quality and m4/3 is an open format so you can expect a lot more lens available, plus there are already Panasonic and Olympus making bodies. But besides all that, it seems to me Olympus images looks the best here. Just my 2 cents.
I guess these cameras are aimed at those who currently use point and shot and want to upgrade, but are scared of SLR systems for some reasons. I’ve been there a while back, thinking at some camera to upgrade my P&S but there were no options back then so I picked an E-420 and I totally LOVE MIRRORS now . So a DSLR is still better for reliability, especially as it takes less battery and you got more options, plus an E-420 or any SLR in that range is not that big anyway, so I quess that’s the market of these mirrorless systems; those who want an upgrade but are scared of SLR’s.

Each camera’s price justifies it’s quality. Nevertheless, all cameras will perform excellent on broad daylight. I prefer to be using my time to shoot rather than cropping each of my images to see how of a quality freak i am.

Curious Steve- the electronic viewfinder is an additional accessory for the Olympus and you use it in the comparison to evaluate the enjoyment factor. The Leica can be fitted with a Leica or Voigtländer optical viewfinder, equally extra to the electronic one with the Olympus, but you leave that out of the comparison. Both would have that viewfinder advantage over the Sony, and one would be an optical experience (which I believe you prefer based on your rangefinder praise) vs. the live view in the Olympus’s electronic one.

I agree with above. If anyone has worked in a dark room, then you know a print is never a direct representation of a negative. You have to massage it with dodging and burning, determine the amount and type of contrast, and maybe even tone the print.

Same thing is true in digital form as film… But, direct results or straight out of the camera results do reflect the amount of work that is required in post processing. If a file is closer to your preferences directly out of the camera, then perhaps you have to work less with the file.

So maybe comments should be like this… I prefer this file more because I will have to work less on it in the future!

I enjoy your reviews, but one thing bothers me. You, and many others, seem to take pride in not having touched the images produced by the cameras. It seems to me that only those least interested in photography would be served by that. The fallacy of that position is that every manufacturer provides processing that is different for each camera. Straight out the camera is not an even benchmark. It makes no sense to comment on the color balance, contrast or crispness of images from a camera when one manufacturer, for example, sharpens its images so that there are haloes around every high contrast object and while another maker does not. I would rather see the best image that you could get out of each camera with your best post processing skills, which is what someone with the camera who was interested in the best image would do. That would actually provide helpful information. Not meant as a criticism, just as something to think about.

Maybe crappy is too strong a word, but compared to the other lens available for other similar cameras, it does not do so well.
