I have a few post on my blog
www.dslr4real.tv-image quality
its nicer than a dslr - not so much sharper but with no colour alaising
-DR
to me DR is defined by the ability to roll to white
-blown highlights
this is the major challenge of the camera - i dont think it is as good as a 5d because the roll off can go plastic
I have the settings tuned to ramp up the contrast rather then reel it in
I think this reduces the plastic
(my settgs are the entire opposite of wide DR settings which IMO show up these problems really badly)
-AF is pretty amazing
-on my mac I go with clipwrap then streamclip
it adds one (quick) step to the post process
other methods may work
With no aperture canon lenses you are in trouble
50 is also quite long (IMO) with a S35 chip - Id look for an old 35 prime
Generally the camera is fantastically practical for using (sound etc) but the 5d my still win on style points for the image
(as opposed to technical points like LPI )
