You might remember last week [url="http://philipbloom.net/2011/12/15/christmas-shootout/"]Philip Bloom posted[/url] shots from the C300, F3, GH2, 5D Mark II and 4 other cameras as a prelude to the test he is doing and that is the inspiration for this bit of Christmas fun. Here I’ve put 5 cameras up against each other for how well they resolve detail and the clarity of their video output. The results may surprise you.

And not only am I challenging the cameras I’m challenging you to figure out which is which! Good luck!!

1 - 5D MkII: soft image, very shallow depth of field, strong aliasing/moiré on the silver surface

2 - GH2: very sharp foreground, still shallow depth of field, cool white balance

3 - Sony A65: similar characteristics to Canon, aliasing/moiré on knob, soft image

4 - Sony HX9V: very sharp  (camera is known for its good video), a bit oversharpened (typical for a consumer compact), large depth of field (because of the small sensor)

5 - Nikon J1: We don't know much about the video performance of the Nikon system cameras, so this is a deduction from the above. If it's really the Nikon, then Nikon has shown once again its lack of video know-how.
