Does “The G10 and G2 aren’t remotely close to the GH1” mean that GH1 is much better than the other two? Do you speak here about JPEG/RAW quality and/or IQ (features + performance)? My English is obviously not the best.

You have to consider the fact that there is a lot of good to that sensor. F2 zooms for one. 2x crop factor which is loved by enthusiasts and people just wanting a DSLR/EVIL cam with the kit and no upgrades. The G10 and G2 aren't remotely close to the GH1 in my opinion. The standard is run by olympus really. As for the sensor in these cams, I'm not sure why they put the smaller one in vs the larger one. Maybe target audience. You also need to keep in mind that the standard is hugely popular all over the world but America. Us Americans aren't the most tech savvy people.

BTW nobody can explain to me why they still prefer this sensor over the sensible better GH1 sensor? Considering DXo labs measurements GH1 shows slightly better RAW performance than every MFT camera which uses G1 sensor, even including Olympus PEN series. Would it be about the price? It may be understandable for G10, but G2 is not so “entry-level” anyway! May you ask about this issue as well for me? Thanks again... Thanks for the info!

They said it is the same sensor as the G1. Only the processor is different, enhanced rather. Just talked to them. They said it is the same sensor as the G1.

But what about the sensor? Are you 100% sure that the sensor is identical to the one used in G1/GF1? Yes, obviously.

Hope it’s a bit re-enineered version for better ISO/DR performance. It would be interesting to find out whether the sensor is still identical with the (not too brilliant) one used in G1/GF1 or not.
