Olympus E-M5 vs Panasonic GH2: Dynamic Range Battle
So at lunch today, I finally got a chance to test the Olympus E-M5 against the Panasonic GH2 in dynamic range. I chose a high DR area, and then decided to see how they did when overexposed 3 stops and pulled back, and underexposed 3 stops and pushed back. All shots were taken one after…
