We're well along in our tests with our production AF100 and will upload the files for evaluation by those interested.
So far I've shot grey scale, resolution, & pretty girl charts, and a table-top at Cine V, Cine D, and HD Norm. There is absolutely NO visible noise on the studio monitor SDI out nor in the footage in the FC timeline, even with the brightness on the monitor turned all the way up. No discernible noise. None.
A pleasant surprise was the greatly reduced compression artifacts with the frames blown up to 200% and 400%; I'm not saying these are usable by any means, but the pre-production camera looked much worse with the blow-ups.
We are shooting Film Like with Detail at -7, Chroma -2, Coring +2, and Pedestal at -2.
Unfortunately, it's a rainy day here, so we probably will not be able to shoot any exteriors; we did, however, shoot the test charts under both tungsten and daylight. I could not readily detect any difference by looking at the studio monitor, but closer examination may reveal something. I certainly did not see anything that would lead me to believe that tungsten was obviously inferior.
Forgive me for waxing poetic, but this little camera reminds me of a Mini Cooper; it does a great many things very well and it really a lot of fun; it's not a Lotus, it's not a Van, but you're smiling all the way.
Stay tuned; we'll make all our settings and footage available soon.
Good shooting and best regards,
Leo

I just loved that sound.
