I think some wires are getting crossed here. The purpose of this test was to give three readers three cameras for a day and see what the overall opinion was at the end of it. I'm not sure if you've seen the test Rob, but a lot of the comments about the E-3 related to its handling and accessibility, which are ultimately down to personal opinion. The small sensor debate is only one side of it - the cameras were judged on everything from speed, image quality, handling, AF performance, accessibility... therefore I don't think it would be 'more meaningful' to have used the issue of output size as a base for the test. In some way, all three cameras are capable of 'publishable' image quality, though the purpose of the test was to determine which camera would be the most tempting for a potential purchaser to buy.
