Since the GF2 is fitted with supposedly the same sensor as the GF1, none will expect any significant improvements in the image quality of the GF2 compared to its predecessor. How much improvement, if any, the GF2 has made in image quality?
Well, there is noticeable improvement in terms of chromic noise and details. As always, we shot the same scenes at ISO800 with the aperture open at f5.6 around the same time in the evening. The results (NR off) show that the GF2's jpeg images are with less chromic noise and more solid. But the GF2 doesn't win hand down compared to other downsized mirror-less cameras fitted with APS-C sensors we have tried. In fact, it fares not as good in this aspect. If you are interested to check out and download the full-size jpeg images, go to this folder.
The full-size RAW images of the same shots have also been uploaded to this folder, where you can check out those produced by other tested cameras.
We have also uploaded the full-size jpeg images done at all ISO values to this folder.
