I keep on hearing around these forums that the EM-5 has a sony censor, and that therefore the EPM-2 and EPL-5 (and some people say the GH3) also all have a sony censor.
Now sony is a good company when it comes to parts. Nikon and pentax have used it's sensors to make some of the best stills APS-C cameras on the market, apple use it's batteries in their market leading iphone (which although I hate it everyone else seems to love). I therefore have no issue with my cameras having sony parts in... as long as one of those "parts" isn't propriertary... or the menu. God I hate that thing... Anyways, getting of topic here.
As a science student though one thing that does bother me is that this is repeated as if it is gospel, whether by sony fan boys claiming it's a sign of the decline in m4/3, olympus fan boys claiming no panasonic camera can compete because it doesn't use a sony censor, or using it to point out the decline of panasonic because they have no resorted to a sony censor, panasonic fan boys... You get the idea.
All of this has been said though and I have yet to see one single bit of evidence, or a reliable source that actually backs any of this up. So, is anyone able to actually provide some evidence so next time I see this mentioned I don't just despaire at how much the human race reminds me of the sheep behind my house.
there is absolutely zero evidence of Sony Semi relation to the sensor
at the same time Panasonic during their interview directly said ( http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2012/09/28/qa-with-panasonic-the-story-behind-the-new-gh3-and-compact-system-tech )
1) "...Panasonic: Our main priority was image quality, both for stills and movies. For our former models, the GH1 and GH2, we developed a special sensor that was a little bigger than Four Thirds. However, because we wanted to make so many improvements with the GH3, we didn't have a larger sensor available. The Four Thirds-size sensor was what was available from our sensor group..."
does "our sensor group" from Panasonic sound like Sony Semiconductor ?
2) "...Panasonic: We don't publish a specification for dynamic range, but yes, we increased the saturation electron number and also improved the signal-to-noise ratio..."
does "we increased...and...improved" from Panasonic sound like "we" = Sony Semiconductor ?
