Advice with my camaeras

I use two cameras, an Olympus E-PL1 with 14-42 kit lens, 4/3 rds 12mp sensor. the other is a Lumix TZ10 with 12x optical zoom, 12mp sensor, it also has gps which records position in the EXIF.
I have gone through the SLR bit and but do not want to carry all the stuff that goes with it.
Both these cameras go into my pockets if I want, which suits me as I am mainly into street photos and some landscape work.
I include three photos, one of the cameras, a photo taken with the Lumix and an identical one taken with Olympus
Can you look at these two shots, which are straight out of the camera and let me know which is better one, and if possible match the shots to a camera. I can then decide which camera to keep.

To stste which is best and you make a decision based on ONEphoto is impossible, there are too many possibilities.

This is a toughie...
#1 is much more brighter and stronger in colors...
#2 is less in colors, but I have a sneaking hunch that 2 is the more "true" as color goes... Also, the tall building to the left is much more viewable and not so dark...
Think I'm agonna go with.................

My guess is #2 came off the Olympus. Heck, it's only a guess. The chances are 50-50 of being right.
Upload them again and put the check store original so we can look at the exif data when enough guesses come in.

I think the top one was done with the olympus. The bottom one is more neutral in color but if you're into street photography and landscapes then I would go with the wider angle, the top one, even though it is slightly warmer but i think a much of a muchness really

For a truer comparision, you need to shoot with the same focal length and other settings, lighting conditions and viewpoint. From what I can see, they both have good definition, exposures and colours, with the top one slightly warmer than the bottom.
Can't see what the focal lengths are for the Lumix.
Which camera to choose will depend on type of street photography(close, in-your-face type or unobtrusive long distance type) and focal lengths you require, whether you prefer a heavier or lighter camera and whether you are more comfortable holding one or the other.
Can't tell you which camera shot which picture BUT if both were shot at their shortest focal length, then the top one was taken with the camera with the shorter focal length and the other by the other camera.

I say you're comparing apples to oranges... The 4/3 Olympus is a HUGE step forward in image quality. Forget the bridge photos - take a photo of a dollar bill (or whatever currency you have handy) something with lots of tiny lines. Place the cameras on a tripod at an equal distance from the bill and zoom them so they are covering the same area. Once you have the images in your computer zoom in to look at those lines and I think you will have your answer.
The Lumix sensor is 25 square mm as opposed to the Olympus with a 225 square mm sensor. It does make a difference...

the main point is that they are both good. learn to get the best out of each.
