Re: Canon C100 camera video quality not good? Help why?

It seems like you're not being very careful about lighting and color balance. Also, you didn't mention anything about settings, which make a big difference. Looking at the pictures you just posted, the first thing that I notice is that the color balance is better on the 5D. I suspect that is not a camera issue but is related to how you shot. With color balance being off, the rest of the picture is hard to compare. Ignoring the color balance, it looks like the C100 has the edge on the first picture. On the second picture, the C100 is back focused, so, again, it's hard to compare. Where it's in focus, it seems comparable to the 5D. Again, you have a color balance issue.

Have you studied some online comparisons? Here's one:

Note that they don't just compare C100 to 5D. They compare several settings on each. What settings you use depend on what you will be doing in post. The best settings for working with the files in post are usually not good for a final product.
