A shoot on the South Bank in London with the 5D Mark III and Iscorama 36. The anamorphic was paired with a cheap Nikon E-series 50mm F1.8 pancake lens. Anamorphic lenses like it rough and cheap!
I've had a real breakthrough with the 5D Mark III on this shoot.

UPDATE 1: Recommend a good screen for this. If you have crushed shadows and lacklustre colour it is time to get an Apple Cinema Display!!
UPDATE 2: This version is sharpened in post with the Premiere Pro CS5.5 Unsharp Mask at 60, radius 1. Seems to be a sweet spot.

Both 1080p, ALL-I 90Mbit (GH2 is hacked, with EOSHD Unified Patch to achieve this)
Lenses on the 5D 'Trevor' Mark III are - Zeiss 85mm F1.4, 300mm F4, Samyang 24mm F1.4 and Tokina 11-16mm at 16mm. The lenses were stopped down to between F5.6 and F11 for optimal sharpness throughout.
Lenses on the Panasonic 'Clever' GH2 are - Olympus 'Scandal' 12mm F2 and Olympus 45mm F1.8. Absolutely superb glass with a nice feel to MF considering they are fly by wire. Again stopped down for optimal sharpness though not as much as the 5D Mark III for depth of field purposes.
Filmed at Monsall Head in Derbyshire's Peak Distract on a fine sunny Sunday in March!
I've written my thoughts on the blog (http://www.eoshd.com/content/7631/panasonic-gh2-vs-5d-mark-iii), here is a summary: the GH2 produces a more pleasing image with far superior resolution and a more organic grain structure. Dynamic range is similar on each out…
This is 'sharpened in Premiere Pro CS5.5' version of my 5D Mark III short Proud Beast.
I am not sure the sharpening is entirely successful on all shots. But it helps to give it some pop!
So far (and it is still early days with this camera) I can see from the DSLR video community that most people feel comfortable putting the Sharpening filter in PP CS5.5 between 30-40. Maybe for a frame grab but I didn't like going this far for motion, it introduces to much jitter and aliasing. This footage was with sharpening at 25 and it is certainly too high for about 20% of the shots (like for the stark outline of the silhouetted tree branches against the sky).
I still think the Nikon D800 gives more detail but that camera still has moire & aliasing especially with high contrast horizontal lines so the softness of the 5D Mark III does have some advantages.
GH2 still better than both for resolving detail but it is not full frame.
Full screen recommended. A short film about the English countryside!
Shot with the Canon 5D Mark III, 1080p mode ALL-I, ISO 160 throughout. Lenses - Contax Zeiss 85mm F1.4 and Tokina 11-16mm F2.8 at 16mm.

My review of the Canon 5D Mark III's video capabilities - a very mixed bag! http://www.eoshd.com/content/7551/canon-5d-mark-iii-review
Quite dramatic color differences, but it's odd, my experience with the GH2 footage is that it is quite better in green out of the box, than this shows. And it seems much more contrastier than this would lead one to believe.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
