There seems to be more dynamic range in the raw files from the E-P5 compared to the GX-1, though neither can match the 5D Mark III (and I don't expect them to).

But, E-P5 has more dynamic range than 5DIII, which is in the middle between GX-1 and E-PL5 (same sensor as E-P5).

That is unless you use ISO 100 on E-P5 which seems to be fake ISO reducing DR (just like ISO 50 on Canons). And E-P5's real ISO in RAW files should be about ISO 100 when it's set to ISO 200 (base ISO).
