Subject: [Leica] 4/3 sensitivity

I have an Olympus 5-500 with an 8 MP sensor. The new EP-1 has a 12.3 MP 
sensor. Since all the digital camera literature touts pixel size as the key 
to sensitivity, does the 1.5 times larger pixel size of the E-500 mean that 
it is more sensitive than the EP-1. Everything else being equal, of course.
