Sensitivity is as the maker states it, and makers measure it differently (exposure, aperture, light source, bit depth): compare like units only. Per µm² divides it by the pixel area, which is most of what a raw figure says. Numbers are the makers' own, from their specifications; we do not host datasheets. Links go to what the maker published.
