A friend who is really keen to purchase the latest
Lumix LX100 asked me if it's dynamic range is as wide as the
GM1.
Afterall, he concluded, the LX100 "crop" the 16MP sensor to 12 but the GM1 utilises the full 16MP M43 surface!
So, in real life; the little GM1 should have WIDER dynamic range than the much larger (physically) LX100?

Guess what? I CANNOT give a confirm answer to my friend's question! The reasons being, of the two days I was loan the LX, I do not have the time to compare the dynamic range of the two cameras. And now I cannot repeat the test because I do not have the LX100 any more :(
