Blackmagic Raw Ursa Mini Pro vs Canon C200 Raw Light

I did a quick comparison test - skintone and motion. I'll do a more through one tomorrow.
Let me know thoughts between the two camera's looks:

Nice, thank you. Canon has a little more red at times (could be the grade), but I like the UMP. Can you give some information about what flavor of Braw you used?

I think I prefer the C200..... seems a bit kinder to skin

I think the skin looks dead in the c200. Ursa mini seems to have more gradiations of light and color happening.
Ursa shifts towards magenta, while c200 has more green, earthy tones

i shot at 12:1

Thanks Ed!
Whatsup with the flare on the left of the image on the ursa mini pro, as it is far less obvious on the c200? Does the UMP flare more easily?
Loving the skintones on the UMP, but I do like the smoothness of the c200. Do you think smoother lenses would help with that one or some digital wizardry to smoothen the UMP footage? (on the other side the c200 feels more digital some how)
How are the datarates compared to each other braw vs raw light?

Skin is more pleasing to me in the c200.

The BRAW has very blue shadows while the C200 has more natural shadows. I prefer the BRAW skin tone, but the blue shadows make it look washed out. The C200 has better contrast with deeper more natural shadows making the colors pop a bit more. From this video alone I prefer the C200.

Also the YouTube compression seems to favor the C200 more than the Vimeo version.

What a weird way to compare RAW formats.

PART 2 should be up tonight - with more real world tests and shooting resolution test chart and dynamic range charts.

the flare I think - I should check flare characteristics - I think that is just because of where the camera was panned - more to the left on the UMP shot.

data rate 12:1 4.6k raw vs 3:1 4k raw (RAW LIGHT i think is 3:1 compression) so it's a lot more compact on UMP - get 100 min about on 256gb card for UMP vs 30 min for C200 rawlight
