  We study the finite temperature transition in QCD with two flavors of
dynamical fermions at a pseudoscalar pion mass of about 350 MeV. We use
lattices with temporal extent of $N_t$=8, 10 and 12. For the first time in the
literature a continuum limit is carried out for several observables with
dynamical overlap fermions. These findings are compared with results obtained
within the staggered fermion formalism at the same pion masses and extrapolated
to the continuum limit. The presented results correspond to fixed topology and
its effect is studied in the staggered case. Nice agreement is found between
the overlap and staggered results.
