RX10 vs. Olympus E-M5 w. 12-50 and 75mm (see Exif below photo) -- 3 of 3

All 3 photos were taken as jpeg, processed in a similar way in Lightroom (moderate exposure, highlights, clarity, sharpening, NO noise reduction)

Sony jpeg was processed by camera as +1 sharpen and +1 contrast, high noise NR set at 'low'
Olympus E-M5 jpeg processed with all settings at 0 (zero), including no noise reduction.

Tom, of the three shots in this series I like the two Olympus shots best. They have, to me, better color and contrast over the Sony. Of the two Olympus shots, the one with the 75mm lens is best--much sharper, better detail. Thanks for doing these comparisons. I'm starting to look for a replacement for my Oly E-600, and E-M5 is one camera that I'm considering. But, I'm not sure about the quality of the 12-50 lens or the m/f5 14-42 lens, and I understand using F/T lenses doesn't work well. The E-M1 and the 12-40 2.8 lens are, unfortunately, out of my price range.
