mike_tee_vee Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Even though the GH2's resolution is jaw dropping, I still find myself drifting back to Canon for the colors and tones. My perfect camera would be a combination of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] There's no doubt the video looks good and better than the mk2 , there's simply more detail. BUT the footage is no way real 1080p, I would say a 720p that lets you down in fine details, typical of every non-GH2 DSLR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the details on his sweater. You can tell that it's from the original source at the end as well, where the lenses are shown (too sharp for anything else). It's certainly not as "sharp" as a GH2, maybe not even as detailed either, but it looks VERY cinematic if you ask me, and that's what people want, on the whole, I think. So Canon is delivering on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian Hassler Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The version postet by MatthewP does indeed look better than the one seen before. It's interesting to see how different some of the shots are when it comes to resolution. His sweater does look sharp most of the time, but his face not so much. Overall sharpness also varies from shot to shot, might also be depending on lens selection. Some of the shots look as if they would have greatly benefitted from stopping down the lens by one or two stops. I'm not really a sucker for digital sharpness, most films shot on the RED suffer from way to sharp images in my opinion, mostly when screened digitally. People tell lots of great stuff about screening quality of Act Of Valor and the 5d Mk III surely is going to top that. I'm surely not saying the 5d Mk II is better than the RED for cinema, but it can perform quite nicely when treated right. Have a nice weekend everybody!

Maxine Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Did they remove video from Vimeo due to Canon's outcry? :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Aye, you're right there. Just checked by downscaling a few screen grabs to 720 and then upscaling them back to 1080 - there's no difference in fidelity. There's a massive difference between 540 and 720 though, so it's 720 at the very least. The question is, however, whether that's an upscaled 720 encoding, or whether the 5DIII's 1080p holds no more detail than can be contained in 1280x720 pixels.
