D7100 slow motion footage sort of looks like old school video?

Something that I have not seen mentioned much is that the slow motion footage from the Nikon D7100 at 50P and 60P shot at 1/100 or 1/125 does not look as filmic as the 24P mode.

The 50P and 60P modes at 720 produce footage that is smoother for slo motion purposes, but does not match the same look/ image style of what you can shoot 1080 in 24P.

I.e. The slow motion footage on the D7100 looks less filmic, the colours and overall 'look' is different, and it appears more like old school 'video'. The depth of field, regardless if you have the same lens on, comes out slightly differently.

Is this a common issue with all brands of DSLRs?
 
Not with the GH3 at least...

Maybe the D7100 uses a smaller part of the sensor in 1080p 50p mode?

I think that would be pretty obvious, since the framing would change.

I'm thinking of dumping my T2i and 7000 for a 7100 - I often prefer the 7000 look over the Canon, but been waiting for 720/60 from Nikon. I've seen tests on YouTube, but nothing from people that knew how to light & shoot, just "here's a kid jumping" kind of stuff. Curious...
 
Could you please post an example of the slow-mo footage please? I shoot a lot of it for music vids & am interested in this camera. Thanks!
