Really? I always assumed that since canon's codec had a higher bitrate and produced a larger file that it would be better. I will have to do some more research. Thanks!

UPDATED 3.4.2010
Added 1:40 to front of clip to illustrate well lit differences. The balance of the video is unchanged.
While the 7D did very well in low light, the HMC with it's built in ND Filters make it very easy to maintain a low f-stop to achieve a shallow depth of field in well lit situations. This being said, I did not use the HMC's filters because I do not have filters for the 7D and I tried to compare them on a level playing field. Without external, add-on filters, the 7D is limited to very high f-stop settings or the need to significantly increase the shutter speed to bring the light levels down to usable levels.
The original test, mainly in low light settings, highlighted the strong points of the 7D and weak points of the HMC150. The added clips help illustrate what a great camera the HMC150 really is.
I believe both cameras are excellent in their own right, but together they provide a great double punch for the well lit and not so well lit settings.
