Interesting technical read this thread, but here's the bottom line - I have had every Panasonic G series cam apart from the G2 and shot extensively with all of them - you can spend as many hours analysing raw digger data as you like, but in the field, let me tell you that the GH3 is hands-down the best Panasonic G camera so far.

Great ! If you shoot RAW, RawDigger analysis is a very valuable tool in order to develop and to check any techniques that users may want to use of maximizing recorded RAW channel ADU levels, along with also maximizing sensor-level Exposure (by using minimum F-Numbers and Shutter Speeds). Such voluntary activities in no way detract from the practice of, or the joys of, photography ...

The high ISO, regardless of what any technical analysis with a myriad raw tools may tell you in terms of numeric scores, is the best of any G series cam and as good as the OM-D. In fact, it is better than my Sony SLT-a57 whcih supposedly has the 16MP Sonty wonder sensor. The low ISO images are crisp as anyone would want with good DR - seems to be quite a weak AA filter on this camera (hence the moire issues in video).

By all means continue this interesting technical analysis but I would urge any G cam owners to try a GH3 if it is within your affordable price range - it's a very good camera indeed.
