M11 small raw sample files

Okay, I only spent 15 minutes trying to find them but didn't find any meaningful results anywhere, including LUF.

So let me ask if anyone has put the M11 on a tripod and shot bracketed raw files in all three sizes with fixed settings, and could provide the files for study?

I want to see mainly if there are ANY other compromises shooting smaller resolutions other than the obvious (loss of resolution).

There is a video prepared for you.

As I understand it you actually gain on dynamic range as you lower the resolution as it packs the pixels.  
 

im not being technical here but basically you have the same pixels packed into the smaller format.

That’s my understanding anyway, perhaps someone more technical can confirm.

it is amazing how good the images look at different resolution.

There are no benefits in noise, dynamic range or details when shooting 36-18MP

[M11 for me]

I think that it is common understanding that we uniquely save storage space when using 36 or 18MPix as a pro but we can crop less as a cons.
