Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX80 vs Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10: read noise comparison

Input-referred read noise at base ISO: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX80 3.7 e⁻ (ISO 100), Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 16.9 e⁻ (ISO 100).

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX80

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX80 was measured at 25 ISO settings from ISO 100 to ISO 25600. Values are Bill Claff's (Photons to Photos) direct measurements from raw files.

At base ISO (100) read noise is 0.54 DN, or 3.7 electrons at the sensor. From ISO 1000 up the camera is effectively ISO-invariant: raising ISO further doesn't meaningfully lower shadow noise. Settings above ISO 6400 don't change analog gain (digital push). Full well at base ISO is about 27,276 electrons; unity gain is around ISO 690.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 was measured at 5 ISO settings from ISO 100 to ISO 1600. Values are Bill Claff's (Photons to Photos) direct measurements from raw files.

At base ISO (100) read noise is 3.66 DN, or 16.9 electrons at the sensor. From ISO 400 up the camera is effectively ISO-invariant: raising ISO further doesn't meaningfully lower shadow noise. Settings above ISO 800 don't change analog gain (digital push). Full well at base ISO is about 18,898 electrons; unity gain is around ISO 460.
