The Dpreview reviewer noted that the engineers seemed to have taken a hands
off approach to sharpening with the E-1 and suggested it be set to +2. I
tried that and I find I actually like the default setting. I guess I like
to do any sharpening in post and I don't always do it exactly the same, so
it's better for me that way.
The C-8080 is much sharper than the E-1 at default settings. I cranked the
sharpness setting down to about -5 on the C-8080.
