All you have to do is look at some raw files to see the difference. The dynamic range and fine details are much better with the MM. There is a difference in the tonality. I don't know how to explain it, but I can see it. Google it to find some examples. There are some of mine from all three cameras on my pBase pages: http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/2014&page=11 Hope this helps!
