Guys, all of your comments about lighting are good but I think the difference between the cameras is about more than that.
In some of the comparison pictures I am seeing the same kind of differences that I am getting between my C100 and my Canon EOS 6D. The tones are not as smooth and subtle on the C100. It's certainly not a flattering image.
Here are two images taken at the same moment from slightly different angles under the same lighting conditions.

There is a definite difference in look (and I think, quality). So much so that I didn't think I could justify editing between the cameras during this interview. I abandoned the C100 footage entirely.
If you look at the color of the wall in the background, which matches pretty well in both images, I don't think it's just a matter of white balance, though I could be wrong.
Any thoughts?

It looks like mostly different exposures and curves. Compare the color of the shirt, for example, and the apparently blown parts on the reflection of the light on his head. I've never used a C100, so take this with a grain of salt.
