If you want to do a resolution test you need to frame the chart the same size in both cameras. All you've managed to do here is demonstrate the issue with smaller physically sized sensors and wide angle lenses. Your graphic of sensor size comparison is wrong because it is based on an area and not pixel count, and it implies the sensor of the BMD is larger which it is definitely not. More to the point here would be a usability comparison because straight out of the box the BMD camera is close to un-useable in the field, too many design flaws to mention here. If you buy the BMD camera because it's only US$3,000 you're in for a huge shock when after you've pimped it up to make it useable you'll then have to deal with the extra cost of RAW in post production.
