That´s the last test i made for now.
Completly RAW footage (i had to add some grain in the 5D shots in the other tests cause some directors goes apeshit when there is no "FILMGRAIN" visible)

in comparison between then 5D and the HVX200 with the Letus i have to say that the 5D is a lot sharper and has much less noise in the RAW footage, on the otherside it has a lot more contrast and leaves less room for grading chances. But it films on 1080p with 30 fps when the HVX films on 1080 with 25 fps.

5D footage was converted to 25fps in AppleCompressor

Both clips were shot with an F3.5 and the shutter time down on 1/25

Additionally the 5D was on ISO 400 to soften up the contrasts, wich were also turned down in the manual controls.

I did, obviously, not use any external microphones on that one, so there is no need to listen to the sound :d

    Have you tried playing with the picture style parameters on the 5d ? You can reduce contrast, sharpness and a lot of other parameters. You can also remove the High dynamic setting. If you use the 5d out of the box without tweaking it a little, you won't have the results you want.

    i reduced most of that and set the contrast as low as possible. Well, the light was not that good and ihere is a lot of improvement in the post anyway.

    Seeing this footage here (and a lot of other 5D/2 footage on here) the image compared to the HVX is awful. The colours are so over saturated (in a bad way).

    Call me crazy, but the 5D seems remarkably better.

    the footage from HVX200 is in my opinion much more flexible for post-production than the 5D

    the 5D footage looks over-saturated and there's too much contrast. the blacks are crushed too much

    5D excells in lowlight performance, one of the biggest advantages of the fullframe sensor

    as a photographer i would go for the 5D MKII, have you seen the stills?

    if i were a cinematographer i would go for some camcorder and the letus..

    As a filmmaker, I love the HVX-200, I've used it a number of times and have always loved the footage I get.

    That said, I feel that the Canon footage is close, but no cigar when compared to what the HVX CAN do. However, both budget and artistic styles determine the correct camera for a given situation. I feel that the Canon has a look that is somewhat unpleasant, but good if you wanted that to stylize your film.

    idk, that's just my opinion, throwing it out there.
