Paul Steinberg's C-300 First Look w/ Commentary

Looks very impressive. It still amazes me how good it holds up when backlit by the sun, there's no clipping and no chromatic aberration, wonderful tonal rolloff, just a clean highlight. Love that.
The first shot of the film was in fact broken, somehow, the C300 wasn't capable of holding up the smooth gradations on the darkly lit white wall, and that was the first sign I saw so far of the 8bit vulnerability. I wonder if it would perform the same on a blue sky, as these tend to be extremely difficult for cameras to be able to hold all the gradual tonal transitions?
Ai ai ai caramba... please don't let this 8bit ruin the camera... I was already convinced, but the wall shot didn't hold up...
Again, thanks for finding and sharing this cowpunk!

I think it looks very much like a 7D in neutral but with higher resolution and no aliasing/moire.
Vimeo (or youtube) isn't capable of smooth transitions. Just like dvd isn't. Even if the original is perfect.

I'm not going to say that I'm not worried about banding issues, but I guess I will reserve my concern for seeing raw footage of examples such as this that I can plug into my NLE to see what it really looks like.
