A more fair comparison would be from a raw converter where we can know it does the same processing for both cameras (preferably with no NR).

I agree. I know that Lightroom 4 imports NR and sharpening settings from the camera.

The Q7 has a lot more detail, there are a few caveats here, these are very low res, but I would expect an even more marked difference at full resolution.

Thanks!
By all means feel free to do more.

You can use dcraw if you want to trust that it doesn't to anything more than you ask for. (Or you can make the raw files available so someone else can do that.)

Later this week I will zip up the raw files and post them on a file share site for download.

I placed the DNG files at this location if anyone would like to run their own evaluations.

Thanks!
