Just watch the Zacuto shootout for a far more scientific test. It really shows how superior full frame is to the smaller sensors, only beaten by good old 35mm. I wish movie makers would just stick to 35mm (that means you Mr Mann!).
Hey Alexandro I’ve got a hot one for you:
It’s Easter Sunday
Get out of here right now!
Oh wait, I shouldn’t be here either! 😉
It makes sense a larger sensor can produce better S/N ratio, but it is advantageous for a compact all-in-one zoom lens for general use. I’d love Canon’s approach to its in-camera switchability between 24/25/30fps, and 50/60fps for global shooting. Looking for a Canon DSLR with 1080, 50/60p to compete against Panasonic GH2 in the near future.
Thank you for featuring my article Alexandro!
I hope you find as fun to watch my website as I do yours. Great work, always.
Just to touch on what Mark says above. I disagree strongly. Mark has clearly not seen the video and has drawn a strange conclusion from the Zacuto shootout as well, because the 5D did not significantly beat the GH1 at all (especially in the bathtub scene). Also, the Zacuto shootout is no more scientific than this and their low light test isn’t available yet so I can’t see where Mark has got his conclusion from. They had a great deal of knowledge & great people but the best way to test a camera is always to point it at light and see if the image is any good, rather than use waveform monitors and test charts in a lab – that is not real life.
I did a lot of tests unpublished prior to writing my article, whereby each picture profile on both cameras was tested to assess it’s effect on the image. So there is a lot of science that goes on behind the scene, I just didn’t want to fill my video with it. It would be boring.
I suggest Mark watches the bathtub scene again in the Zacuto test and watches my test full screen on a projector or TV before suggesting the 5D’s large sensor has a huge advantage over a smaller one, because with this generation of HDSLR image processing and codecs it simply isn’t the case. Sorry to be harsh there Mark, but that’s the truth and its sitting in front of me on my desk in the form of 1x GH1 and 1x 5D Mark II. My eyes do not deceive me.
There is difference, but be honest – just film have big advantage in dynamic. 5D have advantage over GH1, but it’s acceptable. Considering container size difference, GH1 have half size as 5D – it’s great achievement by pany. By saying 5D is better we dismiss other facts – size and lens. I don’t see myself carrying bulky 5D setup, so i sacrifice quality. All you need – is imagination and hardwork, todays tools all are great.
Foot in mouth.
That was Sean Reid, Not Andrew Reid.
I apologize for the confusion. Please delete posts.
damn i got hooked to the song… anyone know what is it?
