in reply to our conversation -
[someone posted an image of an x100]
Hombre:"iirc an olympus pen+20mm produces better images, even in low light."
intelliboy:"hombre you are so wrong on that one..."I just thought i'd check it out and the olympus pen epl2 @iso 3200, is similar to the x100 @iso 3200, with (to my eyes) the x100 being only slightly better.
However the base iso images are much sharper with more contrast, on the e-pl2.

(choose the desired camera model from the drop down)The x100 is marginally better at high iso, but not by much particularly given the sensor differences.
And When you consider that the x100 has a f2 lens, and the panasonic 20mm pancake is f1.7, the e-pl2 + 20mm will be extremely comparable, perhaps even better than the x100 in low light.
Just thought its worth letting you know in case your looking at the x100, it might save you some money.
