It is. I'm just trying to see your own personal settings. One thing I didn't like about the D90 was how you had to set exposure before each shot. You couldn't leave it locked off for multiple takes unless you did said takes continuously.

In about 5-10 months, we'll produce another one of these. At least, I will! And you'll see better use of these DSLRs and their settings. Plus maybe a certain rosey red camera in the mix! Also be on the lookout for an adapter shootout I'm personally producing with the Brevis MP.1, M2 with CF2, Letus Ultimate, Letus Extreme/Elite, and maybe a SGBlade. I'm also looking to include other adapters like the G35, Movietube, and Pro35 in it too! It'll be thorough as well.

In the coming weeks, we may release the full footage of each camera with multiple takes if there's an interest in this, send me a PM and I'll hook you up with some info.

Joseph that adapter comparison i gonna be really interesting, I look forward to it. And I would be extremely happy if you guys posted the full footage.
 
Just have to get my hands on a Blade. Anyone want to put me in touch with Wayne?\

Keep the comments coming. There's also some answers on the vimeo comments for those interested.
 
For anyone that might be interested. I've posted a brief clip of the RED vs the Canon 5D2 on vimeo. It doesn't include discussion or even audio, but helps to show a side-by-side of the two in action and the true difference you get with the money you pay for a RED ONE.

Hey Joseph - did you guys shoot 1080 or 720 on the HVX / HPX cams? - detail settings on cameras available too?

The original settings of the 5D provide very crushed blacks. I've seen modified settings where you could see much further into the shadows. Canon provides nice options to do so: You can import images into your computer, modify them, then import the new settings into the 5D. I think probably you can tweak the 5D much closer to the RED.

I wouldn't deny that one bit. When you set contrast to –2 versus 0 it changes the image significantly. However, I still don't feel that I'd take a 5D over a RED if I had the option. I'm just not a big fan of multipurpose devices yet. Give it a year and I think we'll all have a better idea of how to use these DSLRs though. It's going to take some time and tweaking!
