The E-420 is not yet available, so it's hard to be certain.

But for normal/practical use it's unlikely to be significantly worse.  The

more recent Olympus DSLRs have been a lot better than the older in this 
regard.  The 4/3 sensor is a lot larger than the G7s.

There are more significant things to base your decision on.  I'd put lens 
quality high on my list - somewhere down the line you'll probably find you

want more lenses, versatility is the point in DSLRs.
