Wow, a bit hard to believe after the big deal about 22MP for ideal video and image quality that the old GH2 apparently kills it for resolution and it still has some of that non-filmlike very digital-like compression. If the cheap GH2 can use a better compression chip, the 5D3, 3.5 years later still can't?? More internal protectionism? Protect the C300? Not that the Nikon D800 is supposed to be any better, even a bit worse. But many Panny and Sony just make take them both to school for video. I was hoping that the video on the 5D3 would at least totally knock it out of the park. Sounds kinda weak for 3.5 years of development. darrrrrrn.

I had a bad feeling when I heard they decided to use a very old canon video cam image processing chip in the C300 and not a digic 5+.

Hopefully, he had NR on standard or something and with it off the res will come back and this will be another report proven false in the end.

EDIT: I did just find one video that does some hint as possible solid sharpness, a bit hard to tell though.

I've been predicting for months that the 5DIII would only have improved video to make the Cinema DSLR look that much more attractive.

It is still only producing 720p lines with H264 right?
GH1/GH2 is a true 1080p AVCHD so it will be tough to match them.
