Points 3 & 4 were a deliberate inclusion for the non-pro users, the rest of us will use a rig or tripod or steadicam.
pTom: "5" is point 2 - the Pocket uses 'Compressed CinemaDNG'
Mind you, with the sample footage now appearing online from the pocket camera,.. I'm very underwhelmed with it, the Black Spot / White Orb issue completely negates having all that detail in the Raw files if the highlights are going to blow out with big spherical blobs.
OSV: are you sure on that bit-rate for the C100? That's lower then what 5D2 files show up as in Quicktime.
And yep, %100 agree, the user can make a good camera seem bad, or an average camera come up fantastic.
TomGarn: Runway - that focus pull is actually pretty easy on full-broadcast rigs, and nearly impossible on most DSLR glass.
'Film Style',... is the full dynamic range of the sensor in a video file, rather being limited to the Rec709 standards. On the camera it looks 'flat' or low-contrast, but when you do your colour grading in post production, it give you much much more latitude.
On Sony F3's, it's called 'S-Log', Blackmagic call it 'film mode' compared to 'video', the 5D2 'Cinestyle' profile is very similar.
'Film Style' shouldn't be confused with 'Raw', although the two do go hand in hand. Raw is much more fine detail from a much higher data rate and 'lossless' recording format, rather then the massive amounts of compression used in h.264 .
On the K-01 I shoot video 'muted' plus a few steps reduced Contrast, and I'll push the Sharpening and High/Low key levels around to bring out the highlights or dark area as needed for a shot.
I can match the Canon profiles by modifying the Contrast and High / Low key in the Natural profile, for those times like tonight, where two of us were shooting Pentax (The other being a K-30) and two being Canon's, plus a Canon camcorder, for a local live music TV show I'm volunteering my Monday nights to.
