![]() ![]() ![]() Someone with different shooting parameters would probably reach a different conclusion. I shoot base ISO with lenses stopped down to 6.3 usually and I know from experience m43 is pretty amazing in this realm. This is another area where the older 12MP sensor was very weak, again because of read noise. Look at the thread spools in the shadow box instead and the difference will be more obvious.įinally, the studio scene doesn't tax the sensors as far as dynamic range goes. Especially for the older 12MP m43 sensor high ISO performance is poor in the shadows where read noise dominates. The difference in this kind of noise between m43 and APS-C isn't really that big. You are looking a features at or above the mid-tones where read noise isn't an issue and only photon shot noise is at play. Why don't the studio shots too bad in the high ISO comparison? Part of it is where you are looking. The m43 cameras really do excel at resolving power.Īs you mention they are weaker in the high ISO department. This lens has absolutely amazing resolving power and could well best the APS-C lenses used for some tests. This is reflected in the resolution tests in each of the camera reviews as well.Īs far as the lenses go, the DPR m43 studio test shots are taken with legendary Four-Thirds Olympus 50/2 Macro using an adapter. They use rather weak anti-alias filters which gives the sensor a resolving advantage over much of the APS-C competition. You aren't seeing things, the resolving power of the m43 sensors is very high. This has to be a defect in the testing, right? But holy hell, look at those jaggies again on the APS-C results. The E-P1 fares the worst, but not much worse than anything else. Now, there's no arguing that in most naive cases, the APS-C sensors are going to deliver better IQ than Micro 4/3rds at high ISO values, but in this case, the disparity does not seem that huge. I would say that is bad interpolation, but the studio set-up said they were all demosaiced the same way. Is it just me, or do the Micro 4/3rds results both resolveĭetail? At first I thought 'ah well yeah, the lenses on those APS-C cameras suck,' but take a look at the left curves of the coins, the leaf in the lower left corner. Now, I know there are always minor caveats when comparing studio shots like this, but I still think this is interesting. Take a look at two Micro 4/3rds results on top, and two APS-C sensors on the bottom. For some reason I've seen a lot of Pro-NEX Pro-Entry-Level-DSLR anti-Micro 4/3 stuff lately, and while I understand some of the reasoning, I went to look at some actual comparisons and I'm a little confused. ![]()
