This might be a glib question, but I think everyone recalls seeing those amazing videos that were apparently shot with all natural light by Vincent Laforet on the Canon 1D Mark IV.

I was wondering if anyone knew offhand how the lowlight ability of the FS100 stacks up against the 1DMkIV in the real world-- anyone with personal experience?
 
The two take in light in such different ways on the sensor level. The FS100 is such an awesome performer. The FS100 will holds it own in low light, very similar to the F3.
The Canon delivers a photographic image that is fit into a video file. I like the both, for different looks. Are you considering buying one of these two?

His first short Reverie, that put him on the map, were shot on 5D2. I know he shot a VW spec spot with 1D4 when it first came out but for the most part he stuck with 5D2. It turns out 1D4 wasn't as good of HDSLR as 5D.

In term of ISO performance, FS100 "blows away" any DSLR that's out there on the market right now including the 5D2 and 1D4. There's really no comparison. Newly announced Canon 1Ds X could possibly surpass FS100.
 
Canon: 6.4 µm pixel size
Fs100: 9.5 um pixel size

Combined with newer tech, it's obvious why the FS100 has the upper hand when it comes to lowlight situations.
Now if only they would include a BSI sensor in the FS200.... throw a Noktor T0.95 on it, and night will turn into day. :D
