Olympus PEN EPL2 vs Olympus PEN EPM1: read noise comparison

Olympus PEN EPL2DxO

The Olympus PEN EPL2 was measured at 6 ISO settings from ISO 200 to ISO 6400. Values were derived by Bill Claff from DxOMark lab data.

At base ISO (200) read noise is 4.35 DN. From ISO 800 up the camera is effectively ISO-invariant: raising ISO further doesn't meaningfully lower shadow noise.

Olympus PEN EPM1DxO

The Olympus PEN EPM1 was measured at 7 ISO settings from ISO 200 to ISO 12800. Values were derived by Bill Claff from DxOMark lab data.

At base ISO (200) read noise is 4.00 DN. Read noise keeps falling across the measured range, so the camera isn't fully ISO-invariant there.
