  1. The point here is that these are not the same sensors and they will absolutely require different settings for optimal results. You can’t just go and do the same old thing to the 40MP files and say, hey, these is noisier, that’s not how it works. Competing files must be treated independently and must be processed to the same standard - the least noise possible while retaining the most detail possible and with same resulting brightness, color, and contrast.

Agree. It took me some time before I realized that my XH2 files should not be treated the same than the XH2s files

And this is true at the shoot step. There is definitly with a new tool a learning curve. It is worth to put some emphasis in low light to use a lens with a good contrast, IMO more important than resolution. Perfect focus, exposure adapted to the situation (ETTR or not), correct SS, adapted ISO lead to optimal result. Clear the 40 mpx is not forgiving approximation.
