Shot this on my GH4 in one night. Used some color foils on my cheap Yongnuo YN300 LEDs and my Panasonic 20mm 1.7 lens.
Recording was done internally in 4K DCI VLOG 8 bit, so some artifacts are definitely there. Tried to create a dark, gritty but colorful look. Still in love with this small, little and reliable camera.

This is a joke, right?
The Canon picture looks terrible. Blown out red channel, banding, no detail in dark areas, out of focus etc...
Looks like DR was crushed before pushing black into higher level.

60p isn't 10-bit 4:2:2 internally

Ok, this might be getting old but what the heck.
Not my own footage (by the very talented Arsen Sarkisiants -who I suspect could make anything look cinematic)
One hint- the camera does have a log color mode...

Is this the first time all the crazy rumours have turned out to be true?

Nothing to see here... 
 

They have the 4k version up now.

Pretty much what I did.
Almost no banding.
After grading really nice and saturated colors with great skintones and rolloff. 

Producing great color with the a7s II isn't that hard,
You need great grading skills though.
This was shot using slog 2 + slog 3.gamut (saturation to max and sharpness to -7), so most of the 8 bit range is kept, while still having a nice rolloff.
Skintones were very hard to correct (completely green, thanks to the leaves). But results are great, achieved a really colorful look. Didn't use any LUT.
 Was shot in London, Epping Forest.
 

Colours looked lovely. That follow shot at the beginning of the trailer was pulled off really well.

I've found SLOG3 + Impulz LUT is a pretty easy way to get a great image with a few tweaks afterwards. Obviously, there are big minuses with that on the A7SII with the codec. If you live somewhere with bright blue skies, banding's a big issue. I recently switched to SLOG2 + SGamut3.cine and I've got great results. It does veer slightly more towards yellow but that's easy to correct in post. I've found FilmConvert works with that footage really really nicely.

I'm pleased with my footage from the A7SII. 
To get nice colour, it's required to modify the Slog2 profile (there's loads of help online), expose the footage at least 1.5 stops to the right and white balance correctly. 
Then you need advanced colour grading skills - firstly to correct the image accurately, bring down the exposure (especially those mids) and use a LUT as a base for further styling if required. Sharpen subtlety and you have a very nice image. 
If you don't do any of the above, then your footage will look like a pile of sick. 
Again, there's so much information on the A7S, LUTS and exposure. You have to put the learning work in to get results. 
The A7S and other Sonys get the best results through intricate hard work. For those who don't want that fuss, Canon or Nikon is your weapon of choice. 
Crap though, like you say, it isn't. 

After a long time, I finally produced a new short movie. This time with the Sony FS7, probably not the last time. Coming from a RED Epic, I have to say: The dynamic range is incredible!
Shot in CineEL S-LOG 3, 4K 24P. Color graded in Davinci Resolve. Only used small LED lights.
 
 

Glad you like it.
Postproduction is almost done. Pictures are less green and dark now. :-)
