Panasonic Lumix G9 II vs Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 read noise comparison

Panasonic Lumix G9 II

The Panasonic Lumix G9 II (Lumix DC-G9M2) was measured at 28 ISO settings from ISO 50 to ISO 25600. Values are Bill Claff's (Photons to Photos) direct measurements from raw files.

At base ISO (100) read noise is 9.78 DN, or 2.5 electrons at the sensor. From ISO 3200 up the camera is effectively ISO-invariant: raising ISO further doesn't meaningfully lower shadow noise. Settings above ISO 12800 don't change analog gain (digital push). Full well at base ISO is about 16,380 electrons; unity gain is around ISO 30.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60DxO

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 was measured at 8 ISO settings from ISO 80 to ISO 6400. Values were derived by Bill Claff from DxOMark lab data.

At base ISO (80) read noise is 3.39 DN. Read noise keeps falling across the measured range, so the camera isn't fully ISO-invariant there.
