... its not diffucult for dpreview to use a light meter to control their lights. that way we can get accraye comparisons regardless of iso.

Regarding "accraye comparisons":

(1) I assume that DPReview records are kept (measured independently from model-to-model varying camera-metering readings, and measured using a separate light-meter) of the illuminance of the test target at the time of performing the individual tests.

No, they're not, as a rule. We're a camera review site, not a science lab.

(2) Can it be assumed that the amplitude-scaling of RAW image-data in versions of Camera RAW used to convert the GH2, GX1, G3 and E-M5 RAW image-files has been controlled and consistent ? All that I need to know is the ratios between the amplitude-scalings in each of these specific cases

If you're asking the question I think you are (although to be honest I'm not entirely sure what you're saying), then the answer is almost certainly no. Our RAW conversions are brightness-matched to the camera JPEGs so the comparison makes visual sense between cameras. This is Adobe's policy anyway - after all, it's what most users expect - so we don't generally have to adjust the output sliders from default positions, but occasionally we'll tweak the brightness control to get the best possible match.
