Hi all,
Roberto Cimatti (A.I.C.) and I recently ran some tests to see how the nanoflash codec set at 100Mb and the AVCHD perform in a controlled environment.
The parameters of the test were chosen according to specific shooting needs hence the results cannot exactly be considered a neat evaluation of the devices' performances.
We just wanted to share what we got from these two pieces of equipment under certain conditions.
Said that, we realized that Panasonic AF100 AVCHD performed very well compared to Nanoflash's that still remains the winner of this "competition" but unpredictably for a few points.
By scaling the footage, we noticed the different nature of the blockiness which in certain conditions might give a slight advantage to the AVCHD over the EX.
The under and overexposures were achieved through Magic Bullet Looks Exposure filter and we used them to judge the codec versatility, again under precise conditions.
We are totally aware that this is a biased test (nanoflash can do almost three times better than this) but we needed to evaluate the performance of a max 100Mbit codec compared to the native AVCHD and we can for sure say Panasonic did an excellent job with the AF101.
Here's the link:

Ps: the AF101 8bit output might have played a significant role in this, that's why we would like to know what you think about it.
PPs: these are the settings used
F6 scene file with out of the factory default parameters
Lumix 14-42 lens
F6,3
ISO 400
1080 25p PH mode
Thanks to Adcom for letting us run the test
Cheers
