Photoshop cs5 corrects ANY noise issue and the printed photos are EXCELLENT. I do feel your noise results to be eroneous, as I have viewed other camera reviewers who had no where near the false results you show. Never the less as mentioned before photoshop CS5 and other software programs correct any noise issue, and in addition to that, everyone does post camera editing so a simple noise correction is NO PROBLEM WHAT SO EVER.

I am quite happy with this camera. I need the built-in electronic spirit level (not available in the E-620) for architecture photos. Criticism about a "sluggish" LiveView is absolutely misplaced. In theory, LiveView _must_ be slower than focusing through the mirror box in phase-detect-mode. Mathematically seen, contrast detection is a minimum search algorithm whereas phase detection is a root search algorithm which is substantially faster. Therefore, it is nonsense to blame a specific camera that LiveView focusing would work "sluggish". For still-live photos it works perfect---and fast enough for my needs. Noise: In various forums it is discussed that NoiseNinja is the state-of-the-art tool. When high-ISOs are needed, NoiseNinja is a must-have. And then, the differences between APS-C and FourThirds are minimal or totally neglectable in my opinion. But unfortunately, noise is overestimated in almost all reviews.
