Went to a viewing of the OMD EM1 tonight. The rep explained what the new sensor can do. 1. Sharpening on selected focal plane only. What this means is if you were to shoot a portrait and the background is to be out of focus the sensor reads this information from the settings being used and will only sharpen the image on the sensor plane of focus.
