  • Not all serious photographers use high ISO, especially with UWA. Point here is, level of m4/3 lenses is a lot higher and bigger choise than on nex and fuji only starting, choice is really small....

  • Because m4/3 already has many stellar lenses and with how much Zeiss is asking for those lenses it sure going to be difficult to sell enough. For example 7-14mm panasonic (14-28mm FF eq.) it's...

  • Check m4/3 stellar panasonic 7-14mm, which is even wider - 14mm FF eq. So 18mm eq. is actually quite nice.

  • Replied in G1 LR DR edit
    I never told G3/G5 is as good, what i was telling and still think same, EM-5 can push more and that in your example G3 would give really close result keeping all details, no blown highlights or...
  • Before you start "to weasel out" with test result numbers and 100% crops can you honestly answer if G3 looks really noisy to you after 3 stops shadow push and reduced size? Especially if reduced to...
  • I'm comparing photos that cameras produce, i'm not really interested in 100% crops or naked data without any practical examples. Image Resource raw files fit a lot better for this purpose. You can...
  • I'm not exactly comparing cameras, what i was pointing out that scene you showed could be done even with G3, especially at 1024px wide, there was nothing so impressive about it that only em-5 could...
  • But far more difficult to apply noise reduction. And about darker areas is for same reason people use expose to the right and not to the left. Apples to oranges? Which obvious reasons are you...
  • At least how i see in photos  usually dark leaves more difficult to recover and they show more noise than rather light colored concrete walls g3...
  • Compressed DR, so detail will be retained either in printing or jpg for web viewing. Basically what lifting shadows and recovering highlights does. From same article, but a bit further: "The only...
  • Forgot to add, that those result don't mean that you can push exactly 2 stops more, it means simply how big difference camera can record between darkest and brightest areas of photo until it turns...
  • I'm aware about expose to the right and using it for quite some time. And i do like to pull shadows for pseudo hdr look. You talk about high DR scenes, but did you ask yourself how WIDE they are...
  • Look at nex-6 body, for me body design is about as good as it can be, especially grip. Though would be really nice to have something more useful instead of PASM dial, for example exposure...
  • Instead of choosing between cameras, choose between lenses you would like to use. I tried nex-6 for a bit and body is superb, but at least for me output from m4/3 lenses is a lot more pleasant.
  • Point here is that too much emphasis going on about superior dr of EM-5 when actually DR of scene is not really that wide, that other recent m4/3 cameras can't handle it. Difference is not that...
  • Sure, just this particular example is not that special that shows superior DR of EM-5 compared to most m4/3 cameras. If you don't mind, posting my edit from your ooc jpg, sure it has noise, but for...
  • About 3 stops shadow pulling? I think em-5 should handle quite a bit more :) I did try before lifting shadows by about 3 stops on my g3, getting noisy at 100%, but fine for display size...
  • Um, yes it can, this photo is not really that good to display superior DR of EM-5. By how many stops shadows were lifted? 3-3.5stops shadow lifting are quite acceptable even on g3, but g5 should be...
  • Unlike Sergey you actually take photos and can show them. This example is nice. Difference between sky and shadows probably around 3-4stops. What would be better with G3 here is less noise after...
  • What caused this offtopic is your ignorance, lack of understanding what DR is actually and that you can't admit you're mistaken. Self importance - talking for all enthusiast photographers as a...
