Verdict on AF100A? Any sample footage shot with Samurai?

[thomas_atl]

Anyone have first-hand reports on how footage from AF100A with Samurai (or other recorder) looks? I'm currently shooting on AF100 with Samurai... considering making the jump to AF100A for the 10-bit (OK, enhanced 8-bit) output for upcoming feature film with intense color grading, etc. I've been underwhelmed with AF100/Samurai combo so far... hoping the AF100A/Samurai combo offers a bit more tangible results. Thanks, Thomas.

I wouldnt expect +2 bits to be a magic bullet...if you are underwhelmed by what you have shot so far with your current gear.

What underwhelms you? Got any pix or frame grabs?

Underwhelmed, in part, because of the rave reviews for GH2 footage shot with Driftwood hack, etc. To the naked eye, my AF100 footage didn't look much better when shot on the Samurai, even though the bit rate is higher than Driftwood.
