I don't see the D7000 skin blotchyness.
to my eyes the D700 had the least amount of banding (look below the lights) and blocking (look in the right corner), followed by the GH2, and all the rest after that.
The green hue of the D7000 is kind of nasty, but I think that can be fixed.

Well an extra stop of dr only thanks to the softness of the lens seems to be a little too much...
Again: we're judging dr in an uncorrect way. An image can be very contrasty and have more dr of a flat one, because the details are still there in highlights and shadows until they're clipped.
It's just a matter of 'look': just flat the image if you like.

In these shots none of the highlights seems to be clipped in any cameras

i just read that nr:4 is the gh2, wel that got me silent.
still dont have a gh2, i need more info on the canon 60d :'sorry.
But wow, that sets things different again.... lot off room to play with in post editing........

Extra stop would come not from the softness of the lens, but using a sharp, low contrast legacy lens and pushing the results in post. I haven't tried it in video, only still photography. So it may not work, just something to try out over the holidays.

no no,is not like you say
1 5D
2 NEX5
3 AF100
4 C300
5 D7000
6 F3 AB
7 F3 S-Log
8 FS100
9 GH2
10 7D

Oh and also on DR, I agree with you there. You can't base photo mode results on video mode results, it's two different animals. If there's a decrease in DR as you rise in ISO, I highly doubt it's more than negligible, and wouldn't be easily tamed by using NDs (Which you already understand, but most people do not) or exposing for flesh and highlights.

The rest is handled with apps like 5DtoRGB, which open up shadows and give you the options to go out to lossless formats like DPX for grading.

@mozes

look in the comment itself. It is this:

1. 5D MKII
2. NEX5N
3. AF100
4. C300
5. D7000
6. F3 AB
7. F3 S-Log
8. FS100
9. GH2
10. 7D

Are you sure, I see it but I can't relate to that. Can somebody ask for it because it would change a lot of thing. So from his post is it. Can't see the S-log F3 being one of the most contrasty image.

1 Sony NEX5N, Flat PP

2 AF100 AB-RANGE PP

3 C300 C-LOG

4. GH2 Driftwood Hack nostalgia and dialed down

5. 5Dmk2 Marvels Advance

6. 7D Marvels Advance

7. FS100 G-LOG A

8. F3 AB-RANGE

9. F3 S-Log

10. Nikon D7000 Flat

I think half the board just committed Seppuku...

I would say 99 percent of the stuff I see online is not double blind, and therefore has no real "perceptual" significance. It's just random net stuff. There's no question the GH2 takes good vid. What else do we need to know? I couldn't even tell my Olly 45mm from my Vivitar 55mm once I had deliberately shuffled the deck. At least in this case they did not pre-announce the cam IDs.

The only reason there is a kerfuffle is because they didn't pre-annouce the IDs.

If they had, the ensuing discussion would have been completely different, guaranteed.
However, whether the camera is "actually" better or just "seems" to be better is not the whole story. If you take a musician with five violins, one of which is a genuine Stradivarius, and the other four are really good copies, more often than not, a highly trained panel in a blind test will pick the copy as sounding better. But that isn't a "measurement", it is a perception. And the musician would prefer to play the Strad, even if it sounded inferior. I will sometimes prefer to use an old Leica or Zeiss lens, even if my Panny 20mm trounces it on edge sharpness and distortion wide open (which it does). I would prefer to play the Strad, but I would still *really* want to know which one really sounded better. Time after time, double blind tests come up with radically different results than those that are not. What is interesting about this test, is that different people preferred different images, I don't see a consensus emerging--before the results were announced--as to which one was better, or even which one was which. I don't actually care which one "measures" better, I'm not going the measure the final product, just watch it on a big screen.

Derek has it correct

Okay guys sorry but lemme rant as ive nearly had enough I just cant take it anymore.
I think the only reason some GH2 owners get wound up over the bloomage shootout is that the outcome isnt going to be "OMG!!! The GH2 Is so awesome better than everything out there even the $3000 camera GH2 ROCKS MAN WOOO!"
Crying that its being shot wrong or overexposed or the shootout is deliberately uneven and biased just seems well...just typical and predictable.
Bloom is not the be all end all (Hes not blimmin Kurosawa...btw DONT get me started on his "critics" webisodes)...get over it and go and shoot stuff...y'know like what he does?
All the cameras are great you dont need a "shootout" by anyone to tell you what you use is good. Life is fucking short go do something with it!
So fucking insecure some GH2 owners are! Christ!
Sooooo sick of these fucking comparison videos! AAAAAARRRRrrrrrrgggghhhh!
*Goes for a pint* ;-)
