If you shoot it like a 'real' situation, somebody will complain it is not flat enough to see potential, or it is not their style of shooting.
Ultimately if you want to do the big proper production test, then use somebody like John to do it with you.

That was exactly my point.
What can be done here on a website is limited. If we are talking about testing the use in a real pro session, then there is no other way than doing what John suggested.
Also guys, talking about real life shooting, I've never seen here or somewhere else, a test made in such a way that they provide all the chain involved informations, that including the time measured in seconds for thethered, displaying etc...
And for a good reason: then you'll have people that will complain about the processor used, the sofware inhability, the type of connectors that were wrong etc...,and will denie the results.
It is virtually impossible and ( and I may have understood the BC point badly, if so I apologyse ) that is why I said that the BC point was not realistic in that case.
On the other hand, the "good" point of having flat, unartistic or non professional images, is that there is no room for debating this or that choice and everybody can take its own conclusions when seeing the files.
Remember the freaky fashion shot in the Bahamas made by Leica for the S2 ? That was marketing, but do you see something like that more, let's say, "scientifical" ? They did a test here that I remember compeating with a Phase, but was it a real work situation? Did they had the pressure, the art director behind ? etc...I doubt we'll see that one day.
Yes, comparing the high-end 35mm to H will lead this forum into another battle 35mm vs MFD I'm afraid, where passion, exagerations (in the best case) will be the tone.
I'm not sure this would be a good idea...
