Black Magic's Cinema Camera

So following on from my previous post, a colleague of mine pointed me in the direction of this vimeo clip of a side by side comparison of a 5D and the new Black Magic Cinema Camera.
The findings are very clear in that the Cinema camera is far superior to the 5D in terms of image quality however they both perform the same in the rolling shutter test.  I think that was inevitable although I would have liked to see some improvement in Black Magic's offering but hey, aren't we forgetting that they both cost the same! Nevertheless Im sure there could be some firmware updates to rectify that issue as we are only at version 1.0
I would also like to see some other tests too, maybe from set to screen test with full grading and RAW codecs in the mix, could be interesting..........

Anyway, if you are interested in seeing the shoot off then check it out below........
