[color="#0066cc"]2nd test: confirms what we thought;[/color] [u][color="#0066cc"][url="http://vimeo.com/46177143"]http://vimeo.com/46177143[/url][/color][/u]

Is GH3 definitely hitting in September?

Thanks. I didn't realize it was in fact the 2.7 crop. It really a shame about the video.

The best ever without a doubt. Flat out AWESOME.

[size=4][color=#222222]I've not seen the D4 for video (in person) but my buddy who works at a post house told me the only time the D4 is sharp is in crop mode, not full frame. Watching Bloom's tests seemed to confirm that. Did you have a different experience?[/color][/size]

It's true the D4 looks sharp in crop mode, but none of these DSLR's, (including the 1 DX) is going to look great at ISO 25,000 +. They will for [u]stills[/u] under the right circumstances, but definitely not video. The noise levels will make the footage worthless for doc work. If you want extreme ISO's, you'll have to look at the C300. That being said, the 1 DX is the single best low light full frame DSLR availible right now. The D4 is great in low light as well, but remember it's soft. We'll have to see if the 4K 1 DC DSLR ups the game. Should be close.

Did you download the files from Miller? I understand the anisotropic antialiasing, however, it seems to work fine. I fail to see anything "funny" about the image. Not at all...maybe its just perception (or your computer/monitor), but it looks great to me. The 5d3 was under exposed in this video. Yes, the colors are much different as well. Out of the box superior, like the D800 (with less moire). Again, this post manipulation is very time consuming. Not on a 5 minute Vimeo video for fun, but try it on a 100 minute feature film where it counts (distribution) and see the endless frustration with you/editor.

It is quite a bit more money. It certainly does not have all the features of the new Sony. As far as the battle of the Canon's, it depends on whether you have time to sharpen each scene in post. Extra work. There's something to be said about a product that works straight out of the box. Saves money, but time is money. Seems to me minus the 4K 1 DC, the Canon 1 DX is the best full frame DSLR in the world. Wanted to purcahse the D4, but again (sadly) much to soft. Looking forward to serious low light tests with the 1 DX to see if its 2 stops on the 5D3.

This debate is over. Downloaded files from James Miller and viewed the clip. It's obvious (it's not even close) the 1 DX is superior to the 5D3. It's much sharper out of box/higher ISO. James hints at even more sharpness in post for 1 DX. I agree the 5D3 should and could have had the 1 DX specs. However, it doesen't. You will notice the difference between the Canon's on a 60 ft screen. Wide shots with the 1 DX will cut with the C300. If you don't care about full frame, get the GH 2. For the internet, it won't matter. [media]http://vimeo.com/45854124[/media]
