Panasonic G9 beats the GH5 at RAW comparison

Share


via CameraSize

Eno sent me these images:

I managed to hack the Panasonic G9 RAW files (Courtesy Imaging Resource) in a HEX editor so that ACR would open them.
Below I made a side by side RAW image comparison (with Imaging resource RAW samples) between the G9 vs GH5 at different ISO values. It can easily be seen the G9 has less noise compared to the GH5.

UPDATE:

Below a DR comparison at minimum ISO 100 between the two cameras.

Dpreview tested the Panasonic G9’s high-res mode

Share

Dpreview tested the new G9 High Resolution shooting mode. They tested it with moving object in the frame to see what kind of “artifacts” you get

As with similar technologies from Ricoh and Olympus, it’s not necessarily recommended for scenes with moving subjects in them. But we wanted to see if we could make it work.
We overall found that a shutter speed between 1/4 sec and 1/8 sec gave a reasonably natural look to the average pedestrian in motion – of course, for faster and slower moving objects, you’ll have to adjust accordingly. Do take note, though, that there are some interesting colorful streaks in our moving subjects, and a reduction of resolution in static objects that can be seen behind them.

And Photobyrichard.com added new sections to his very long G9 review.

Panasonic 200mm lens test by Imaging Resource: “Superb Image Quality”

Share

Imaging Resource tested the new Leica 200mm lens:

“The image quality thus far from this lens has proven superb, as have the images with the 560mm eq. 1.4x teleconverter engaged, and I look forward to seeing our forthcoming lab results. This lens represents mobility combined with versatility, and I personally find that combination tempting indeed. To be sure, this is a nice lens and a versatile package given the included 1.4x teleconverter.”
