Of these cameras, in a blind test by video professionals which one do you think won.

Camera A ? Sony F3 ($16,000), shot by Nancy Schreiber ASC
Camera B ? Panasonic GH2 ($700), shot by Colt Seaman
Camera C ? Red Epic ($58,000), shot by Ryan Walters
Camera D ? Apple iPhone 4S ($199/$599 unsubsidized), shot by Michael Koerbel
Camera E ? Canon C300 ($16,000), shot by Polly Morgan
Camera F ? Arri Alexa ($60,000), shot by Rodney Charters

Do you think it was more about the photographer, and less about the camera used? I haven't read it yet, doing that now.

Partially yes but when you look at how it was done and the margins its pretty clear that the GH2 stands up to anything even at 10x the price...I wouldnt have guessed it either. My money would have been on the Ari....

Only fair to mention thought that it wasn't just a stock GH2. There is a hack to the firmware and also you need a lot of add-ons for pro use (audio, rig etc.) but point is still solid sometimes its not about the bells and whistles.

And of course in the words of Chase Jarvis "the best camera is the one you have with you"
