In my rush to get this out I made a mistake on one of the captions. The S-Log3 was shot at 3200ISO, not 1000ISO.
So here is a simple collection of shots from the FS5. There is no image processing other than the grading of the S-log3 clip and the upscaling of the HD clips to UHD. Default settings or picture profiles were used. The footage was exported from Adobe Premiere CC using Media Encoder at 3840x2160, H264 at 75Mb/s for upload to YouTube. This is what it looks like out of the box. All the shots were done at the same aperture (f9) and shutter speed (1/50) and the native ISO or 0dB gain used in each case. This means that the S-log3 was around 1.5 stops over exposed, which is about optimum for S-log and an 8 bit codec. As you can see the pictures are low noise with no significant artefacts and no banding in the sky, clouds or any other areas. You can also see that the S-log3 grades really nicely when shot this way and results in a very low noise image. Please also take a look at the frame grabs that can be found on my blog here: xdcam-user.com/?p=4583
