AF100 compared to HPX170+Letus

[arno]

I am working on a documentary and used both camera. Both with te same Zeiss lenses. There is a big difference between the two. The HPX (incl Letus) is much 'richer or deeper' of color. Is this because of 422 (compared to the 420 of the AF100) ? Or is it something else?
And does the Nano help?

I've noticed this as well. My guess is yes it is the 422/420 difference, but I am no expert in that area. One time I suggested that and people disagreed with me. Anyway I know digging in the settings can help a little. Here are some shorts I shot where I tried to pull a little more rich colors out of both set ups.

Just for the hell of it here is one where I tried to make a GH1(3) a little more rich.

All were shot with the same Nikon lenses.

Anybody got to compare HPX 170 versus AF100 with 4:2:2 out on external recorder....? That would be a fair comparaison.... (besides 10bit versus 8 bit)

I would love to see some side-by-sides of the same subject, with the same settings on each camera, to see how much of a difference there is.
