But DXO measurements have nothing to do with this.

There's also the problem that not all ISOs are the same. At ISO3200, according to DXO's measurements, the EM-5 ISO is effectively ISO1489. The NEX-6 ISO is also lower than it should be at ISO3200, by about 1/3 of a stop.

When I look at DxO I see for the cameras' ISO400, the OMD is really 214 and the NEX 6 is 280.

Checking their graph I don't see the 2/3EV you claim...more like maybe 1/3rd.

Also, DxO's doesn't use the same definition for ISO as most other review sites.



See my post above. They measure exposure relative to the saturation point. Which doesn't tell you how cameras meter in terms of final image output. As also explained in their tutorials and as has been explained to you ad nauseam.
