Lightworks Films has recently posted a test between the Blackmagic Produciton Camera 4K and the Canon 5D Mark III:
Video Description:
Basically I found what you’d probably expect:
- the 5d looks great right out of the camera, though it is a bit muddy with the 8 bit, 4:2:0 weak codec
- a bit of sharpening in post, 33% to be exact, made both the BPC and the 5d look better
- the BPC resolves details much better than the 5d, as of course you’d expect with 4x the resolution
- the grain on the BPC is much “finer” and “filmick” while the grain from the 5d is “muddy” and “blocky” – this is the difference between the resolutions (5d @ 1080p and BPC @ 2160p), the in-camera noise reduction Canon implements that BPC doesn’t, and finally the codecs, which are vastly different.
Settings:
- Lens = 50mm f1.4 @ f1.8
- ISO 400
- natural light
- note the different post production settings in each shot in the video
