New footage by Nick Driftwood:
https://t.co/o4rXVuJ1VD
My take:(NO LUT, just my own grading using curves, selective color correction etc...)
-
This one is the best I've seen, and that it includes quite a few low-light scenes:
ridiculous.
So bad I cannot even think where to start...
Burnt out highlights everywhere. Harsh clipping on red channel. Brownish (seems to be the typical canon xc10 look), nr artifacts, low detail even in 4k etc... At least no sharpening artifacts in this clip.

4k footage looking like beeing shot on a 1080p camera... Ouch.
Absolutely no fine detail BUT lots of sharpening artifacts (not in C-LOG gamma)...
Then: They have absolutely no skills grading the footage. (Not Canon's fault though) -
Some testgrading of your screenshot @Jordan Drake
Used my old 2013 BMCC Teal/Orange LUT for this. -
Guys, thanks so much for all the input. Here's my summary of what look like the best settings (based on input here/elsewhere and my little experiments):
- Sharpness: -10, I think everyone agrees with -10, default is too sharp.
- Gamma: DR. Definitely wider than Normal, probably best till we get a log option.
- Contrast: -5. Many like it. Had lowest banding (vs. 0 and -10) in my test scene. Highs can look weird in some scenes though.
- Smart Range+: Off. I have no idea what this does. Per the Samsung manual, it "corrects for the loss of bright detail."
- Master Black Level: 0. Many recommend +10, but in my testing it's just lifting the levels, so useful only when not planning on post work.
- Luminance Level: 0-255. Some like 16-235, but that too squishes the waveform - would help when using directly out of the camera however.
Please let me know if I'm factually off base on any of these here.
Best setting on the NX1 so far. Least banding, nice skin tones, good rolloff and an overall organic feeling.
Yeah, lifting the levels should be done in post if preferred -> lower banding! -
I go down to sharpness -5 on my LX100 and it still has that videoish oversharpened look compared to my GH4...
I would recommend to use Natural with Contrast 0 and maybe add some iDynamic LOW in harsh situations.
Set NR and sharpness to -5 and saturation -3 (almost the same as -2 on GH4, don't know why) to avoid red channel clipping. Leave iRes, Shadow/Highlights alone.
But still, I think matching my GH4 (using cine d and my LUT workflow) with a BMCC is much easier than matching with my LX100... o.O
-
Skintones are actually manageable using cinelike D. But have been working on my workflow quite some time...
This is an example just using my LUT (Before, below after LOG LUT and further grading)
Notice the green hue on her skin (especially the last picture). It's completely gone after grading.
I really would love to see a test between my workflow and V-LOG.
Here's the link:

I hope this is true. Cine D is terrible for colours.
So true.
Cinelike D is a mess. Orange/Magenta color cast with ugly compressed skintones which make people look like zombies... :(
Would like to see something like Slog2 or BMCC Log on this otherwise nice camera. ;)

Sorry, Copy seems to be kaput. I'll link to each individual file separately on a new page. Got to rush off now though, so will be tomorrow now.
Thank you :)

That copy.com link dosen´t work, there is nothing when i loggin in.
I hope eoshd forum can do camera test whit blackmagic pocket whit metabones to compare to panasonic gh4 whit metabones.
it will nice to see low ligth test, color, detail, sharpness, raw and proress files.
outside enviroment like this test.
thanks
Hoping to see the source files or at least a few framegrabs from the ungraded files as well.
Dynamic Range seems pretty bad compared to the 5D MKIII :(
Some new Canon XC10 footage

This camera maybe achieves 1080p resolution but fails to deliver 4k completely. Looks like garbage compared to my GH4 shots (or even higher resolution NX1 or BMPC footage)... Still has that cheap HDSLR look, dynamic range doesn't impress me either, but seems to be better than in other examples shown in this thread.
A GH4 can produce much better footage (sharpness and nr down to -5).
Watched the final movie done with the C300MKII though. Looks fine to me, as detailed as my GH4 but with much better dynamic range.
