Powershot V1 shows Impressive Dynamic Range Results

Photonstophotos dropped a new camera into its analysis, and to be honest, the results surprised me a bit. Now, if you weren’t aware, the V1 has a slightly larger than Micro Four Thirds sensor. I expected the PowerShot V1 to fare worse than Canon’s own APS-C sensors because of the higher pixel density and the more compact nature of the camera with an integrated lens. What is evident is that this new sensor, and the related camera, is a far better compact camera in terms of image quality than Canon has ever done in the past, and pretty close to the results you’d see from Canon’s APS-C sensors. That’s pretty impressive.
