Indeed it is.  At about f/10 on up it's the resolution equal of any of 
them since none of them are resolving more than 5MP there.  Max 
resolution on the EM-5 isn't achieved at apertures smaller than about 
f/6.3.  Better shoot those slow zooms wide open at the long end.

Think about how little those 16MP digicams with pea-sized sensors are 
actually resolving at perhaps any aperture.  Even the Minolta A1 with 
it's largish 5MP sensor (1/4 the size of 4/3) is diffraction limited at 
about f/4.5  Ugh!
