FourThirds- What it is and What it isn't

[microcosm]

We have to be careful to see about FOV.
FOV is not the same with magnification factor which you mentioned about.

i.e : 50-200 mm lens in 4/3 system will give the same angle of view with 100-400 mm on 35 mm term, BUT... not the same magnification ratio on the sensor.

I've just compare several times between ZD 50-200 mm f/2.8-3.5 with Canon EF 100-400 mm L and the things are quite clear.. Canon wins more detail for tele end due to better magnification ratio.

Do you have 100% crop samples to show? I am curious... since it is "quite clear" as mentioned, I would love to see the difference. If it is the lens or merely the difference in the resolution of the sensor. As far as I know, Zuiko Digital lenses are generally far more refined than Canon offerings.

Maybe an apple to apple comparison? A shot from 2 10MP cameras like the E-410 (the cheapest prosumer) to a similar Canon 10MP camera?

drakon09,

Can you continue to add to this thread and give more input to the system? I would like to lift things in here for the Kopi Session classes. Thanks bro.
