Eric Thayne's Test Footage - The real deal!

Looks pretty noisey to me...

We shot at frame rates of 24, 30, 48, 60, 120, and 240fps and ISOs ranging from 800 to 2850. Some of the noisier shots in the video were likely shot at higher ISOs.

That's a pretty high ISO so yeah, but does that mean the "camera is noisy"? No.
 
The standard for early test footage of new cameras was set by RED with "Carrion" (Raven) and Phil in his multiple test videos (Epic Dragon, Weapon Dragon).
No disrespect to anybody for posting their stuff, but look at where the bar is. Anything less is going to get ripped apart.

I was thinking this, but didn't want to say it as it will discourage some of the people buying a camera for the first time... Especially a RED camera. Just cause you are buying a RED camera does not automatically mean that every single thing you take is going to be gorgeous. The only thing the Raven is bringing to the table is 4.5K resolution, high frame rates, 16.5 stops of dynamic range, and may be some color differences. That's it... It doesn't automatically make the video for you. Don't be disillusioned by the specs either... See Eric's video... If you can't do a similar video with a DSLR.... A RED camera isn't going to change that...
Let me reword that, if you take footage of dog shit with a DSLR... It's still going to be dog shit with a RED camera... It's not going automatically look like a painting of the Mona Lisa. If you want Mona Lisa, you figure out how to paint well... Which takes time and effort.

I agree somewhat. I wouldn't be buying this unless you were ready to go to that level, or had money. But even Kwan's footage shows it has a basic natural cinematic look that is usable. So the scene is going be more workable from the start.
