So over the festive period I treated myself to an E-M1 mkii to replace my E-M10 mkii. I've had a great relationship with the M10 and its size has meant I've been able to take it out shooting a lot more than my previous D7000. Due to work and other things going on I've only just managed to get out with it over the weekend and took some rough & ready photos along side my iPhone X just for comparison. Now I'm far from an expert and would consider myself a fully average amateur but from initial comparison of the photos I'm not overly blown away by the IQ alone. The camera was mated to a 12-40 2.8 pro lens and all images were just imported to lightroom and cropped with no other changes. Taking everything else out of the equation this is just to compare a simple point and shoot scenario at probably not so ideal aperture for the scene but nevertheless a setting that should be fully capable of high IQ:

Please tell me I'm being an idiot and doing something wrong, thinking illogically or anything else that would take my current preference of overall image quality in favor of my iPhone in these particular scenes! I would say the iPhone images are sharper and better exposed (camera was set to full scene metering). Any feedback welcome!
Cheers
