Here’s my quick and dirty comparison between the Panasonic EVA1 in both native ISOs (800 and 2500h and the Black Magic Design Ursa Mini (ISO 800)
Shot very quickly after a shoot, so apologies for the weirdness of the methodology regarding NDs and the resolution test.
Exposure was taken from the point where the 3rd grey chip on the grey card was indistinguishable from white on an Odyssey 7Q Monitor - down until it was indistinguishable from black.
The Eva was recorded 4K 10bit 422 from SSi to ProRes HQ on an Odyssey 7Q. The UM was recorded Raw, 4K DCI crop.
Lens was a Rokinon Cine DS 35mm T1.5
Light was an Arri M18 HMI through a Chimera dropbox.
Colour chart was a legacy Xrite colour chart.
The first series is each camera with exposures normalised to mid grey.
Second series shows side by side comparisons at each corrected exposure (including EVA 800/2500 comparisons)
3rd series is the cameras ‘exposure matched’ to compare performance in low light at native ISOs.
Resolution is compared at T8 (unfortunately the EVA was set to under exposure, but you can still see that it clearly has more effective resolution)
Final series is each exposure laid out as a gradient. So you can see how skin tones might fall.
Original files, plus a Quicktime HQ version are available on dropbox to download: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/p61uox1j60nwjd1/AAAX4KG2ucyltu0mpHzkxkSra?dl=0
