Good l'ill test, GH2 does do rather well. :-) Thanks @PhilipBloom for including the hack in the test. We came out well considering you used the LOW setting!!!!
The amount of detail in GH2 picture is mindblowing! Its nuts! I´m buying another GH2 right now.. Its not about pixel peeping but this is brilliant! And thank you Philip for this real word tests.. keep on doing that :-))
The AF101's look is very disappointing. I remember really looking forward to it whilst in my Letus+HPX171 phase, refusing to shoot DSLR...until I discovered the GH2.
Yes sorry! I was very tired, finished it at 6am this morning. Fixed version now uploading. GH2 did brilliantly in this resolution test.
Kind of hypocritical to say this as this whole shootout is about it, remember pixel peeping will make you go blind and give you hairy palms! After shooting and editing this my palms are hairier than my back currently! Time to find a razor! :)
The AF101 looks terrible. I really don't like the image of that thing. Also: he messed up the titles with the 7D, as they say AF101 after he introduced the 7D. Minor detail.
There is just something I don't like about the fine detail of the C300 and FS100. Looks very digital.
edit: just watched the video and the FS100 looked fine. Surprised that I actually liked the look of it so much. The C300 has good resolution for sure... but it still has that "digital detail" look that my XHA1 and XF100 had.
@FGCU, thank you for your feedback. I am in a PC environment, currently using PPro, so DNxHD is not part of my DNA. @FGCU, do you 'clean' your footage in post to make the conversion from 420 to 444 any more than what 5DtoRGB has to offer in the conversion process? Thank you.
@JDN, thank you clarification and caveat. :D I will be aware that warm cards are primarily considered for indoor use. I am operating on PC now, so no DNxHD use at the moment. There appears to be merit to converting source 8-bit 420 files to 10-bit 422 files, if applying various post processing, as @PerryWilson: http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/comment/18608#Comment_18608 Post processing views may vary, I am exploring now, and seeking to change the gamma curve on record to be a little flatter, as we have discussed.
