[QUOTE="flaxseedoil1000, post: 75960, member: 2435"] Yes, very. What I am seeing IQ wise vs my GH2 is no more purple fringing, better gradients, more of that 3D pop and isolation and less noise even at low ISO. It always bugged me that I would see noise in a clear sky on the GH2 even at ISO 160. I can't see any on the X-Pro1 at ISO 200. I even did a +35 NR in LR4 just to see what would happen and nothing changed, there was nothing for it to smooth out. The GH2 does have a few advantages, most notably AF speed. It also has an amazing amount of external controls. While I prefer having the external controls on the X-Pro1 for aperture, speed and exposure comp, that clickable wheel works very well when you have your eye planted in the EVF. That said, the OVF in the X-Pro1 is sooooooooo nice I doubt I will ever use the EVF unless it's something under 5'. There is a whole list of customizable things from the GH2 that could be added to the X-Pro1 via firmware. Example: The GH2 let's you configure what a half press of the shutter does, just like you can configure the AE/AF lock button. Right now the X-Pro1 locks focus and exposure with a half press, which makes locking focus and recomposing a PITA. Speaking of the shutter button, it's much nicer on the X-Pro1. The first half press is the same, the second half on the GH2 feels like mush compared to the X-Pro1. As I said, there is a whole list, I should just do a comparison and be done with it. BTW I considered the OM-D. I already have the 12mm, 20mm, 45mm primes and the 14-140mm zoom. Wanted the 25mm but it's been back ordered forever. The 5-axis IS would benefit me as I have an essential tremor on my left side. But that's about it, I doubt it's raw performance would be much better then the GH2. And there is NO WAY it's IQ can touch the X-Pro1, just not technically possible. Plus I feel the high ISO of the X-Pro1 trumps IS for low light, at least if things are moving. Enough already, probably bored everyone to tears. Take care [/QUOTE]
