I used a tripod, cable release, and mirror lockup, and took the same pictures with both in the same light, at all apertures with both lenses. The Panasonic/Leica did not match the Olympus in either color or sharpness at any aperture; and this was only the mid-level Olympus, not the top. I had high hopes, but they weren't met.

I'm considering the four thirds option hence my questions.
A bit of a strange comparison. I could see comparing an Olympus 14-54 to the Digilux 3 kit lens (which is 14-50), but comparing it to a lens with almost 3 times the reach? Not exactly apples and oranges.
