I see in today's news that Olympus is pushing the sensor in its mouth-watering top-of-the-line OM-D E-M5 down to its new Pen consumer models. Do you all think that this means that a RAW file from the new cameras is equal in quality to the RAW file from the E-M5?

As a second question: If the image quality between the two models is the same, does that mean that the difference in price is mainly down to the interface?

PC magazine press-release is here:

i'm a big olympus fan. had ep2 for years and the omd. theyre making great advances, putting in some great features and the the build quality for these little guys is wonderful. however, with all the choices out there now i will never buy a camera with an AA filter again. pentax has it right, offer AA-less versions and let us decide.
