G85 vs G7 IQ - Can I Believe My Eyes?
4

Hello, I mentioned this in another thread, but I really wonder how the G85 can look so much better to me in the DP Studio Scene Comparison Tool (from the review)than the G7:

RAW or JPEG, anywhere on the scene, it just seems significantly improved. This is the same sensor, but with AA filter removed. Yet it seems much sharper and with better contrast(?). I thought, well perhaps it was shutter shock(which I've never noticed on my G7), so I tried some Olympus cameras like the PenF:

I would still pick the G85. How about the EM5 ii:

Hmm - G85 still wins to my aging eyes. Try it on any mFT camera. Move it all around the scene. Put it up against the Sony a6300 - still the G85 looks better to me...

Do you see the same? What is going on here? Is it the removal of AA filter? RAW processing? Inconsistencies with DP methodology? New shutter? Am I nuts?
