Not bad but, In this way, you cannot have an idea of the line that a v1 camera with a 10-30 lens is capable of..., It's a backward step for me.
Why not show resolution data just as M43's? That will show a resolution potential of different systems, though can not be compared directly..

Because the LW/PH numbers have often been used for direct comparisons, even though we clearly stated that this is invalid. And in addition: because the numbers we publish have wrongly been accused, in one case even publicly by a competing site, to be invalid.

Because the LW/PHs cannot be used to compare the potential as well. Different RAW converter(-versions) produce different LW/PHs.
We could continue to publish the old system but technically this is absolutely pointless. There is simply no loss of information.

Thank you for the test. Some real numbers would have allowed us to compare the system with the loads of D200 data you already have (Both 10 Mp, 3:2). I had to go to the pictures to do this, and it seems to compare quite well. It's fuzzy in the corners at 10 mm (definitely not "very good"), but there are plenty of wide-angle primes that have that defect.

At the moment, there is quite some heat on newer panasonic x lenses on fora with clear evidence of such issue - a nervous double image.[/quote]
A recent firmware update has reportedly settled the "double image" issue. Still, it appears that IS techniques, at least for the smaller and more light weight systems/lenses may not prevent (or even cause?) softness in defined ranges of shutter speeds. It may well be that this is in part due to vibrations from the shutter. Hence, an electronic shutter would present (a part of) the solution.
