I've been reading that thread but I'm not sure what to say--I'd like to see the Mini35 with the XL H1 also. I didn't find the grain objectionable in my tests, which included wide open night work. I'm...

HD100.

I agree with the idea of shooting a moving image such as water or fire which will be a more challenging test to the compression than a pan.

Avengers are good gear, they used to be the Arri house brand. Matthews are of course the old school industry standard. Both are built solidly and will last.
