Re: E-M1 vs. A7II Thoughts

I have a GX8 and Sony RX1 (24mm FF). Bottom line is that the RX1 produces higher IQ images than any M43 camera that I have ever owned. If I had a FF camera with equivalent lenses to what I have with my GX8, they would be far heavier and costlier. The IQ difference between M43 and FF in bright light is not significant providing I am not view the images blown up to be very large. At higher ISO's the IQ difference widens. While I have faster M43 lenses and IS narrow the IQ differences, they do not eliminate them.

I am not surprised the OP found that cameras with FF sensors have greater DR and higher IQ than m43 especially when shooting at ISO's. If one wants superior IQ and they have the budget and willingness to lug a heavier outfit, buy a MF or FF digital camera. If one wants a camera with good to VG IQ, which is relatively light weight, buy a M43 camera Life is full of compromises and cameras are no exception.
