With this little comparison, i wanted to test out codec differences and bit rate variations of Sony FS5.

For test purposes, two LED lights with CTO gels and ambient tungsten lamps were used. Camera was set to 3200K white balance, 180 degree shutter angle with aperture set to 5.6.*

I realized that in XAVC HD 1080/25p the lines in contrasty areas look more edgy. I don't know why but when using 2160/25p it looks normal.

PS: Due to YouTube compression, it can be hard to identify defects of each setup. 4K versions were scaled down to frame size, 1080.
