I picked the F55, Red Epic and GH4. I actually was not familiar with the F55, but after I googled the price I guess I won't be buying it anytime soon.

I guess the GH4 will be AOK. I was shocked that I did not pick one Canon camera.... The FS700 looked weird.

Looking at the vid for the umpteenth time I realize I discounted the first cam because it was framed differently. Still, I don't see a big enough difference to justify anything more than a GH4.

I found my impression influenced by the expression of the model. If she smiled I tended to favor that camera. I also seemed to favor the tighter angles. They really all looked about the same however, though I did, for probably the wrong reasons, favor the F55, GH4 and Pocketcam. #7, 12 and 13 somehow, for again most likely the wrong reasons, seemed worse. I actually hate these tests. I feel like a better test is to show these cams in adverse shooting situations, like overhead sunlight with streaks of shadow, indoor shots with big un-gelled windows in the bg, lots of motion, low light. Just no bushes please. No more bushes.

Great test. If lit well the majority of the people aren't going to notice much of a difference. I was surprised at how much I didn't like the BM cams. I usually like the colours.

@briani I like to see both tests. I like these well lit tests because they show with some love how close these cams can be despite the price differences. I also like the see the tests in challenging situations because those are what make and break some shots and knowing where your cam's weaknesses help shape scenes towards its strengths.

Grain is covering a lot. I would like to see it without the grain.

I doubt it was using the IR/UV cut on the Pocket! That´s unffair to the beautiful BM´s color.

Not really a great test to me. I don't understand why they add the grain. But one think that was really apparent was that some of the cameras have terrible banding. the large red circle on the left of screen really showed off the banding in the Cannons, and the noise in the BM.
