If I am not mistaken the AA filter of the E-620 is as strong as the filter of E-P1/E-P2.
So maybe that's a good body for the 14-52 or 12-60

Exactly! I just meant that the flaw doesn't seem to be inherent to the system...
No, I shot the Nikon at f/8 and the Oly at f/4. There's no doubt in my mind that the Oly had less CA, less distortion, better corner sharpness across the range, and was generally stronger at 60mm.
Unfortunately, it's an excellent lens without a reasonably body to put it on. The E-5 is a brick. If I have to carry a brick, I'd rather it be a flexible brick, like the D700. The other Oly DSLRs have strong AA filter that cancel out any advantage the lens has in sharpness. And the Pens, while sharp, can't usefully focus the 12-60.
What I like about the E-P2 is that I can stick a small prime on it, like the 20/1.7, and it's basically pocketable with DSLR performance for street and candid photography. The sensor is sharp enough. But without a good walkaround zoom, the whole thing is much less useful for hiking, traveling etc.
