Agreed. DXO seemed to hold up the report as they didn't quite believe
the findings. The sony sensor with Oly's secret sauce seem to really
surpass the MFTcompetition and even Canyon APS-C. Interesting to
compare to the new Nex though. Sony likely will use a denser CFA and
perhaps higher ISO will suffer but color rendition a bit more
accurate--but no complaints with the OM-5. Curiously it is clear the
OM-D does have a true easily accessable ISO 100---it is called ISO
"200" ;-) ---see quote below .
"Dynamic range: At 1.7EV higher, the OM-D beats the Panasonic cameras
hands-down. This is a significant gain. As seen on the chart, the
dynamic progression for the G3/GX1 starts to stagnate at 800 ISO,
whereas that of OM-D E-M5 continues to increase in amplitude, achieving
12.3EV at 200 ISO (a sensitivity that actually translates to 107 ISO)."
The CHDK hack will allow one to see the "true ISO" as the cam must
actually know this and not the dial setting.
Standard, what standard? Mike
