GH4 GH4, GH3, 5DIII, C100, and 7D Shootout. Can you tell the GH4?

I just read the description and realize that the profile choices were not matched which may account for some of the results. The Panasonics were all in standard, the 7D was in standard with a little bit of contrast and sharpness reduction, the C100 was in default (I honestly don't know what that is and I own the C100), and the 5D3 had a custom profile.

What I took from the test is how much all of this depends on the way the camera is used. I couldn't tell what I was looking at most of the time. I responded to certain shots, but it had nothing to do with a specific camera. I even really liked a couple of the 7D shots over the rest of the cameras.
 
@cpreston, your not the first, another guy thought the 7d looked the best on the youtube comments as well. They all looked good in certain shots, it's subjective as most things are in cinema, at least the non technical stuff like opinions.
 
Argh... it pains me to admit it, but there were problems with the encoding for this test. My settings were correct, and my prores export looks perfect, but inexplicably the mp4 export from premier de-interlaced the c100 footage. (It was the only footage in the test that flagged itself as "interlaced" but I corrected that and it doesn't explain why it only happened on one flavor of export.

Anyways, head in my hands as the "noob failure" the youtube comments prescribed, here is the same shootout encoded from the prores to mp4 using the conversion app "Episode."
