I have been pixel peeping on my E-M1 and E-P5 using good long lenses and detailed scenes, sometimes with tripod, sometimes without, but at distances over 50 meters. Haven't seen the kind of blurring that shows up in the overheated air of DPReview. Since those examples seem to be mostly macro, I would wonder about AF and hand-holding problems confusing the issues. Read Roger Cicala's blog series on amateur lens-testing about a month ago. He plots the scatter of his automated MTF50 analysis for a Canon with telephoto when shot with contrast AF, with phase AF and with repeated manual focusing, camera on tripod, carefully aligned. Repeated MF gives a pretty tight set of results, contrast AF is next, phase AF, for all its speed, seems horrible.
I have installed firmware 1.3 on both M1 and P5 (yes, P5 got an update, and perhaps M5 as well), and will try them. I agree with Godfrey that Olympus Digital Camera app is far too scary.
