Windows PC users invested in the Sony ecosystem can expect to see the largest performance boost when upgrading to Lightroom Classic 15.2, with gains ranging from 83% to 122% depending on the system. Those within the Nikon ecosystem should see increases of 64% to 92%, while Panasonic users can expect a 29% to 55% improvement. Canon photographers will see the smallest – though still substantial – boosts, ranging from 14% to 25%.
The story is different for MacOS, though. On the Apple MacBook Pro M3 Max, the only camera to show an increase in performance was Panasonic, with a 9% improvement, while Canon and Nikon experienced a 1-2% drop in performance (likely within the margin of error) and Sony saw a 5% loss.
