The thing that disturbs me when comparing definition (and not resolution, which is the number of pixel in a digital image) is that the 1DC and BMPC4K have different gamma curves, with different black levels. Definition is directly linked with contrast, because when you adjust your blacks to 20 mV the perception of micro-contrasts (= definition) is way much better than with a flat image. If the black levels change, your perception of micro contrast will of course be different. That's why I think that comparing definition between two cameras should be with an ISO 12233 mire, with blacks adjust to the same level. Shooting with that mire allow to know the MTF resolution, and then, the circle of confusion, which is very useful to calculate your depth of field. Of course this is not a scientific test, and it allows us to have an idea of the different definition. But I think that an huge website like Cinema5D (sponsored by B&H !) should be able to furnish this kind of test. Let's find out with the next test if they will !
