I am curious if this is put on by zacuto which sells parts and rail systems for alot of DSLR,s and not as much for film (this is an assumption). I wonder if these opinions are biased.

Ya, I would hope that they would do at least a single blind study (if not double blind) where the reviewers don't know from what camera the footage was taken from. That should eliminate any bias as long as they stay with their initial statements after watching the film clips. Still something to be cautious of though.

Too bad film still rapes the digital format because it doesn't go obsolete...

workflow, on the other hand, is another issue...

I don't see how a 1080p dslr camera will look better than 35mm film.

its simply to compare them to. Of course they won't come above and beyond the 35mm film camera but they wanted a benchmark to compare it to, and a 35mm film camera is the closest relative with regards to keeping lenses controlled. They couldn't use say an HPX with a 35mm adapter because the adapter kills some quality and light use.

Interesting to hear that some of the guys in the shootout(Shooting 35mm film) think that if cams like the 5dmk2 could shoot RAW. It will acually look better than film!

true, but I still don't see any reason for comparison. They may have similar constructions, but anybody can conclusively say without any testing that 35mm still kills any digital format available. It even beats the stupid IMAX formats...

Raw aka RED, i mean it would then be the same resolution as film.
