The EPM2 is off by no more than 1/3 stop. DPR's test of EM5's ISO rating showed it was off by 1/3 stop and I don't expect the EPM2 to be any different as it uses the same TruePic VI processor. It is certainly not off by 1 stop.

A good argument to present to DXOMark I'd presume.

Instead of presenting anything to DxOMark I present the link below to you.

There have been countless threads on this topic. What DxOmark measures as ISO is not what camera manufacturers measure.

I'm not defending DXOMark, nor applauding them.

Nobody said you are. You seem to have missed the point that what DxOMark calls ISO is not what the camera manufacturers call ISO hence you are comparing apples and oranges and coming to the wrong conclusion. EPM2's ISO rating is really what it claims to be for all practical purposes.
