Yes, that's correct: you dont know.
 
Crisp +7 actually softens your image, it's like using the "Masking" slider in lightroom while you use the sharpening tool. Set it to 0 for maximum sharpness. Fullframe or crop, it does not matter.

I love the look of this lens, gorgeous!
This was all handheld? If it is, then the IBIS is pretty damn good!

Yes you can. Im using A6300 with Andycine A6 and all of the resolution modes works perfectly.
But the camera only sending the GUI over the HDMI in the 1080p modes. 4K is clean, so you cannot see your settings on the monitor. 

I still dont understand what you want to prove.
Same lens with focal reducer on smaller sensor will give the same look. 
Different but faster lens will not give you same look but not because of the sensor, but the characteristics of the lens.
Focus fall-off is lens dependant. Helios 44m-4 will give more creamy blur than Zeiss 55 1.8. Panasonic 25 F1.4 will never be as creamy as Carl Zeiss Jenna Tessar 2.8/50. But not because of the sensor size... SLR Magic 25 F0.95 will be smoother than Canon 50 1.8 STM... it's all about lens characteristics.

Bravissimo brotha', you can tell a difference between a lens manufactured by Sony and a lens manufactured by Voigtlaender. Sick skillZ!
If he use the same lens with focal reducer you will not see any difference between the two images. I have tried it.

Will be joining the YouTube party at some point.

I bought the A7Riii and I wanted to make this thread into a resource where I can learn from others and share what I have I've learned. There is enough overlap in video with A7iii that I think it would benefit both camps. 

I bought mine $300 less than the MSRP via GreenToe. If you're not familiar it's like Priceline for buying gears. You place your price and if it's reasonable, sellers match your price or make a counter offer. I placed a bid for $2750, later increased it to $2780 and I got an offer for $2890 which I accepted. It's from a US Sony dealer. I've also heard people buying some zeiss lenses about $200 blow MSRP. You can go to Greentoe.com or if you follow my affiliate link, I think I get $25: https://gtoe.me/YsjOxVWyaM   
 
So I like to discuss camera settings, picture profile people are using, AF settings, post processing, LUTs, noise reduction techniques, etc. 

I start with what @Don Kotlos replied to my question on his picture profile settings:

Not specific to A7Riii but relevant to getting a correct exposure:  
 
 

With such a high amount of shadow lifting and highlight recovery you get unrealistic colors. You have to do proper tone-mapping and get the contrast back. These images might look good if you grade for proper REC2020 ST2084 HDR. Just switch output color space in RCM, and set your levels properly. Dont forget to switch your scopes to HDR in Perferences / User / Color tab. And buy a HDR capable display :D

The quality of the final video is pretty good for a gopro!
The flare is caused by greasy lens, you can avoid it if you are not using the skeleton case, but the frame. Of course in this case the camera is no longer protected against the elements.
Almost all of the action cameras are using the same sensor, the low light performance is most likely the same. With the gopro's you can use a special professional mode where you can turn off all of the precessing.
For this mode you need Protune 2.0 capable camera so Hero3+ at least. Use the usual Protune, Native WB, Flat settings, fix your shutter speed (1/50-1/100) and instead of "max iso" choose "fix ISO" value. In this mode the in camera noise reduction turns completly off. In this case you get a very detailed (and of course very noisy) results till iso1600, but after NR the final footage can look better.

I'll look into it.. The number one priority is 10 bit cameras; but if things align, possibly

Finally! A thread for the new Blackmagic camera, where we can discuss facts and review's about the camera. Oh wait...

SD Card writing speed hack
If you are familiar with the ML possibilities, you already know the best RAW capable cameras are those with CF card. The CF Card interface is capable of 70MB/s writing speed with 5D2, 75MB/s with 7D, and 95MB/s with 5D3.
6D / 700D which has SD interface is only capable of 40MB/s, limited by the camera and not the SD card.
Now the ML team are pumping up the SD card interface writing speed. It seems like the 40MB/s can be raised up to 70MB/s or even further.
That means the 700D will be able to record in 2520x1072 continuously
I hope they can make it stable

I hope your experience is not built from Final Cut Pro X Proxy editing.
ProRes Proxy is fine if you dont want to grade the footage. For 4K 25p it's 151 Mbps which is a little low for ALL-I codec.
If your plan is to record in BMD Film LOG with any of the Blackmagic Camera's ProRes LT is the best choice with good balance between image quality performance and storage space (about 302Mbps for 4K 25p)

Filmconvert has very nice profiles for GoPro (just make sure you download profiles for Hero 3/4/5, the color is the same, but the profiles are for different settings, for example Protune Flat, Native WB is only in the Hero5 Profile) , and you can use the 5D Mark III BMD RAW profile for your 700D

ML RAW is uncompressed it's hard to break even a 8 bit raw file. 
You cannot see difference between 12 and 14 bit, because the last 2 bit contains noise most likely.
You can see difference between 10 bit and 12 bit if you lift extreme amount of shadows, shadow banding can occur (caused by noise) with 10 bit files, but with such a heavy lifting the footage is unusable regardless of bit depth.
You will not see any difference between the 10/12/14 bit (raw) files in everyday scenario.
Why didnt you asked this question in the topic where it belongs?

As Deadcode said, it has more to do with raw than with bits.
I know you tried to push hard the image so it doesn’t apply to you kye, as having a 10 bit file helps with grading no matter what, but I find it always annoying those comparisons about 8 and 10 bits SOOC saying « i can’t see a difference » when you know almost NOBODY has a 10 bit display. 10 bit doesn’t do much of a difference for internet delivery anyway, but there is a difference, especially coupled with a good codec like prores (codec is even more important than bits to me!).
