Which is which? Full Frame versus Micro Four Thirds

I've been spending quite a bit of time doing more studio style photography and have been learning different techniques from amazing photographers. Just recently, I met up with a buddy who also loves the Cheetah/Godox line of barebulb flashes to do an impromptu portrait session. Like him, I have become a huge fan of the Phottix line of light modifiers and accessories, another China-based company hitting a homerun in the strobist department.  In the image below, you will see the 43 inch Phottix Luna Octobank. What I love about this modifier is that it is a fold-able, light weight, highly portable octobox that produces pleasing light and is a perfect fit with my Cheetah Speed Pro Bracket MarkII. I haven't spent enough time with the Luna to make a definitive claim about it's quality, durability and utility, but you can bet I will be posting a review in the near future.

During my time working in the studio, I noticed one thing - Good lighting will always beat gear. The following two shots were taken with different cameras one being the famous Canon 5D MarkII and the other with an Olympus E-P5.  After reviewing both files, I honestly couldn't tell the difference as far as image quality goes. Can you?

I understand outside of the studio the differences between depth of field and low-light performance is more noticeable, but for these applications I would argue they are neck and neck.   Feel free to leave your comments and thoughts below. Thanks for stopping by.
