C500/300/100 all have the same sensor and processor??

Hey guys, still a bit confused by some of the answers.

What I was trying to get at was, if they all have the same sensor and processor, would it be possible for a company like Magic Lantern to make a custom firmware so that the C100 could shoot 10bit RAW.

Consider that Magic Lantern can only make token changes to the encoder in the DSLRs it works on, I'd say the answer is evidently "no".
 
It is the same sensor in all three cameras.......you have to trust me & Cowpunk on this.....anyone saying different is not correct.

No, that's not possible. It would require hardware upgrades seperate from the sensor and processor.

so same DR and image on hdmi out?
i know its been said already but i had to ask as this concept excites me
 
I don't know why I find that so hard to believe (the part about same DR and image out of the HDMI). It might just be denial because when I think about it the C300 as a package is more attractive to me (the internal codec too). I don't understand why the DR and overall image wouldn't be the same internally too though, minus the color space and bit-rate effecting things a little. If it's the "same" on HDMI out it's gotta be super close internal.

Wish I knew now because it's coming up on 2012's end and I could use the write off of a camera purchase LOL.
 
I think the C100 with its internal codec will struggle somewhat in underexposed areas. Much like the GH2 before the hack...not enough bits to go around.

Sanjin's (kinocks) test clips suggest the DR is there...and he did mention they fell apart in the grade.
