D-Lux 5 looks sharper, but per the site sounds like it also has the larger sensor.

 

 

UPDATE: here is a more direct link to the article:

Peter--thanks for the link. I hadn't seen the comparison.

 

The D-Lux 5 does seem a bit less noisy, but the quality of the D-Lux 4 is still impressive.

 

For me personally, the color rendition of both the D-Lux 4 and the V-Lux 2 is more pleasing in his samples. I wonder if that yellow-green cast might be a result of the processing needed to give the cleaner results in the D-Lux 5.

 

His observation that the V-Lux 2 doesn't perform as well at higher ISOs as the others seems a bit strange, since that is just what one would expect because, as you point out, the D-Luces' sensor is larger than that of the V-Lux 2.
