I found this on the web. Although this is an informal test, the differences are quite significant.

Ola Christoffersson, the author of the test writes: "If anybody reading this think we did something wrong or that this test is unfair to the HPX, please comment below. I have absolutely no which to bash Panasonic in general and if for some reason our findings are wrong please let me know!"

a better test would be a hpx 2700, with avc intra. dvc pro hd, is pretty out dated these days, and nowhere near as efficient as 35 mb xdcam. avc intra on the other hand is a whole different story. best comparison would be avc intra vs f3 with offboard recorder recording to 10 bit.
 
This is probably just the different generations of sensor technology showing...the F35 looks noisy compared with the F3 as well.
 
Yes. It's not really a fair test. We have a an F3, a 27H Varicam and use a HPX2700 regularly as well, but not for commercials where the F3 is our primary camera. A more relevant test would have been against the 1080-native Panasonic HPX3000, or 3100 or 3700.
