offers unbiased test data of digital camera image quality, based on RAW images captured under lab conditions. The Panasonic G1, which was introduced last year at Photokina as the world’s smallest interchangeable-lens digital camera, produced images that DxOMark says are comparable in quality to those made by Four Thirds-based DSLRs and is fairly close to those for low-end DSLRs.

\ndxomark.com publishes RAW performance data on the first-ever Micro Four Thirds camera,
\nalong with data on two Four Thirds system cameras
\n<\/i>
\nParis, France \u2013 January 27, 2009 \u2013 DxO Labs announces today the publication of detailed RAW-based image quality data and DxOMark Sensor rankings on its popular www.dxomark.com website for two additional Four Thirds format cameras, the Olympus E-420 and E-510, as well as for the first commercially-released Micro Four Thirds format camera, the Panasonic Lumix G1.
\n
\nWith the addition of the data on the new Olympus cameras, the Four Thirds category is now well represented on dxomark.com, with a total of 5 models (including previously-released data on the Olympus E-3 and E-520 and the Panasonic Lumix DMC L10).
\n
\nThe Panasonic Lumix G1 is the first commercially-available camera using the new Micro Four Thirds technology unveiled this past August. Other models using this format are expected to become available this year.
\n
\nAs the name suggests, Micro Four Thirds camera bodies are smaller than conventional Four Thirds cameras because the lens mount is smaller and the traditional mirror and pentaprism have been replaced by an electronic viewfinder. Despite the difference in overall size, however, both conventional Four Thirds cameras and Micro Four Thirds cameras have the same image sensor size and specifications. This means that photographers can easily compare both kinds of cameras\u2019 RAW-based performance on the DxOMark Sensor scale, regardless of other differences (optics, ease of handling, etc.).
