I hope they don't knock the 5D2 for only 30fps. I guess even if they did they're probably cutting it out now.

They got 24p version of the 5D for the test. It says it in the description on the right hand side. I'll post it here:

Zacuto Films presents, “The Great Camera Shootout 2010: a three part web series where gunslinging HD DSLRs face-off against legendary 35mm Film.” The webisodic series showcases the top performing hybrid HD-DSLR cameras: Canon: 5D MKII, 7D, 1D, 550D/T2i Rebel, Nikon D3s, Panasonic GH1 and compares the image quality of these cameras against the gold standard of 35mm film. In addition, the Canon 5D MKII test includes the new 24p firmware. "This was an enormous undertaking," says Steve Weiss, Web Series Director, "and great care was to make this an apples-to-apples test with scientific accuracy behind it."
Each webisode of the series features various controlled camera assessment tests which include: resolution, latitude, sensitivity, speed & ultra high speed, noise, color & green screen. The battery of tests were administered under strict controls and conducted by Robert Primes ASC, Gary Adcock, Philip Bloom, Jens Bogehegn and colorist Ryan Emerson.
See the reactions to this test following 2K screenings, where “HD DSLR is compared to 35mm Film”. The test results were projected in a 2K theatrical environment at three screening locations: Stag Theater at Skywalker Ranch, LucasFilms Ltd., AFI (American Film Institute) Theater in Hollywood and the FilmWorkers Astro Color Timing Theater in Chicago. Hear commentary from the screenings by top ASC, Hollywood, Indie Film and Event & Convergence Photographers.
 
Zacuto servers are down to their knees since hours.
I wonder if they anticipated how much excitement there would be for their shootout?

I've been watching it all day. Wonder how much traffic they would have needed to shut down their site.

Ok so you can't leave it outside in the rain all night, but that isnt an
everyday thing.

Try telling that to a fella from Vancouver. :violin: Although it's been pretty sunny the last month or so overall.
 
Interesting test. To be honest, I think that ALL these HDSLR's are capable of producing gorgeous images. It also helps that they were using high quality Zeiss glass.
