Noise? If only my eyes were as good.
Please guide to as to where in the shoot you see a "lot of noise". I have much to learn.

...the dark sky in final shot? Blocky compression artifacting is nearly always present in dark grey expanses ... it's not the camera's bad.

Lets just remember that this video was most likely heavily compressed and is streaming virally...

That is a good question. was it defused on purpose? I think some shots could be.

Agreed! Now maybe if it had a Global shutter...

Totally agree. What's all the fuss about? A Super 35 sensor? Why the Long GOP codec? The 1080HD resolution? The relatively ordinary bit rate? I'd sooner have a few more 5Ds and a RedRock Micro M3 for my EX3 than this on the strength of this showing.

Totally agree.

I guess, you never filmed with a RED?
Sorry, but even if the film itself is pretty good - the quality of the footage is anything else than acceptable.
It´s blurry, has bendings and CA´s, Carlos.
Long time ago, I did see such disappoiting footage;)

I feel the same way... Shooting with Red is something else. This looks nice for a small camera, but has no sharpness and it's too expensive for a small cam.

Less jello, less aliasing, more DR, a proper video camera body, proper inputs, list goes on...

There's also the AF100, but the image characteristics of that one doesn't please me all that either, even though the 1080p60 is a great feature.

And well, if the features of this camera doesn't interest you, that's another thing.

And the statement "the human eye can only see so much" is silly, specially referring to the 5D, a camera full of flaws that barely resolves 1.2K.

I think Steve meant to say 'when you can get a GH2 for $800?' ;)
And if so, that would definitely be a solid Q

If you have the right gear you can get all the inputs you need with the Mark II and still cheaper than this camera. Also its not silly that the human eye can really only pick up so many pixels. The eye has around 576,000,000 pixels but when you look at a TV that is displaying 720P and one beside it is displaying 1080P there is no way you can actually see a difference. They can pick up differences in Shadows, highlights, color, density. I have seen on the big screen the same shots done on the Red and on 35mm and you could not tell the difference in quality. Why do you think they mix the Mark II and the Red with 35mm film? People can't tell the difference trust me.

There a some great features on the GH2 but I will stick with Canon since I have invested so much in lenses for the camera.

You are in luck:

-or you can get a cheap non electronic one today if you want
So there is the guilt free image quality upgrade! (and what a massive one it is)

Noticed that too :) Cookies for you and I!
