I dont get this. This site has an incredible image comparison tool and yet people are taking their own pictures...

The 5dm3 has about a 1.5 stop difference, not the full two, and you can see it right here on this site. 2 stops... the 5dm3 is worse off, 1 stop and it is better off... You can even see it at DXO if you care to look at the breakdown.

If you look at DxO's measurements the difference in noise at the pixel level between 5D3 and EM1 is close to one stop while it is close to two stops when downsized to 8 MPs. I was interested in seeing what the difference would be if the 5D3 image is downsized not to 8 MPs but to the vertical resolution of the EM1 image. I see that in the latter case it is more like one stop rather than two.

2-stops. not downscaled

2-stops downscaled

1 stop not downscaled.
