Even being a die hard Olympus fan, I have to say 10D is at least two stops
better than E-1, at ISO100 the noise is not noticable even you under two
stops and pull it up; still very low noise at ISO400 and under one stop. The
problem is the 10D color does not look as good as the E-1 even with the
excellent C1 RAW convertor.

E-10 was famous for dynamic range I believe it is comparable to E-1 but E-1
has better noise level. Here is another one, it is only slightly under.
Check the histrogram and note the shadow area you will know what I mean,
shadow can always be safe but not hightlight.
Setting: low contrast and softest sharpness.

I have reduced the image size by 50%, so it looked good.
