Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX10 vs Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100: read noise comparison

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX10DxO

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX10 was measured at 10 ISO settings from ISO 80 to ISO 25600. Values were derived by Bill Claff from DxOMark lab data.

At base ISO (80) read noise is 0.99 DN. Read noise keeps falling across the measured range, so the camera isn't fully ISO-invariant there.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 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 1.03 DN, or 7 electrons at the sensor. From ISO 1250 up the camera is effectively ISO-invariant: raising ISO further doesn't meaningfully lower shadow noise. Full well at base ISO is about 26,847 electrons; unity gain is around ISO 680.
