This may answer your question:

The ISO discussion has nothing to do with sensor size. It is a discussion of what the manufacturers are saying the ISO in their cameras are vs the actual ISO.

On the graph you can see that when the OMD shows ISO 6400, then the measured ISO (measured sensor sensitivity) is actually 3200. Whereas the NEX-7 is very close to measured ISO 6400 when claiming it.

Yes, ISO 200 on OMD is actually measured to 100. For NEX-7 ISO 100 is measured to around 80 for some reason.

This is what "cheats" the user in believe that they are using IS06400 in the OMD when they actually only are using what is equivalent to ISO3200.
