Perfect timing! Just as I'm in the midst of choosing between the two, along comes a video that compares both. Although I must admit I was hoping that my mind would be made up after watching :S
Kevin I know you mentioned that you feel the cameras are equal in regards to image quality, a view seemingly shared by Michael with his statement that the E-M1 and it's contemporaries would satisfy, "all but the most neurotic pixel peeper". Now feel free to call me neurotic, *but*, did you encounter any of the mushy foliage issues mentioned by some other reviewers and users? I know that this sort of thing obviously is dependent on the settings used for noise reduction, and whether shooting JPEG or RAW. It just feels to me like the Fuji XT-1, to a degree, is faking it when it comes to how good its images appear, especially shots at higher sensitivities. Was this reflected in your experience?
Likewise, did you have any troubles with the lack of a low pass filter on the E-M1? I know that moire can be corrected in post, but I'd hate to have to add this to the list of things to do for a job, or worse, overlook some serious banding in an image. If the Fuji has one advantage over the Olympus, it would have to be the absence of moire in the files it produces, despite also lacking a low pass filter.
