The Mark III, C300 and Red Scarlet in a Nightime Bike Race

In lieu of our recent conversations around what's going to be our next camera, I found this video comparing the low light capabilities of the 5D Mark III, the C300 and the Red Scarlet. Keep in mind that this is far from a perfect test. It seems like giant spot lights were scattered across the track and I can't seem to find any information on the aperture or ISO for the different angles; I assume that it was pretty balanced. I think the best pieces of evidence are toward the end where they are interviewing the biker. What does everyone else think?

Techincolor CineStyle - Canon 7D

Trying out the CineStyle picture style from Technicolor for Canon EOS DSLRs. Both camera setting are identical, save for the picture style of course. I dig the dynamic range; the only thing I notice was the increase in noise... The music is a fun little diddy borrowed from an episode of Radiolab.

They employed a choir to audibly illustrate the rainbow and priase the mantis shrimp, an organism with nearly five times the color sensitive cones as that of humans... So I thought it was kind of apt... you know because of the whole color and dynamic range thing... maybe a little silly. Nevertheless, props to Radiolab.
