Well all in all, both are great cameras. 5D series does have some trouble with moire and aliasing, baked in color, low resolution and a soft image. BUT, the image for what it is... is great. The GH2 with almost non-existent moire or aliasing issues, high-bitrate and superior motion rendering just give it a really good base to start from. You can make the image as sharp or as soft as you want, make it blend in with RED footage or HVX footage.
Unfortunately the 5D isn't too flexible in that area, and can really only pull off one kind of look. I kinda got tired of how the footage fell apart almost immediately in post, during curves adjustments and grading. But with the GH2, the threshold is much greater for post manipulation so I really love the flexibility in that area.
But just imagine once we have our BMC's to cuddle, any DSLR will just pale by comparison. I think it'll be a shock for anyone who's only been able to afford or use cheap DSLR's until this point, like myself. Cannot wait to see what working with CinemaDNG will be like. Just a few more weeks and the wait will be over... hopefully.
