DxOmark (Click here) published the full Panasonic LX100 sensor test:

Adopting a larger sensor than the lens can cover offers advantages in lens size and speed, but the trade-off is somewhat reduced sensor performance, particularly in respect to low-light capabilities. For all that, it’s still no worse than rival offerings, given that neither the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III nor the Canon Power-Shot G1 X Mark II fare any better in low light. If that’s a restriction for your type of photography, larger sensor compacts such as the APS-C Ricoh GR and particularly the full-frame Sony DSC-RX1/1Rhave better performance, but there are tradeoffs, not the least being the daunting premium price for the Sony.

Sigma explains (again) why they will not make “independently” designed MFT lenses.

Share

Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki said they will not make independently designed MFT lenses. They will keep making lenses for APS-C mirrorless system and then offer them with MFT mount too. Mr. Kazuto said a proper MFT designed lens would require extra costs although obviously would bring a size advantage (smaller lenses). For three reasons Sigma will not do that:

1) The extra costs are too high
2) They have low demand for special MFT designed lenses
3) The MFT lens system is the most “mature” of all mirrorless system and therefore it’s harder to sell their lenses.
