EOSHD writes up their experience shooting 2.5K CinemaScope anamorphic raw on the Canon 5D Mark III.
They write, "Am I over the moon about the image quality of raw on the 5D Mark III?
"Well before we were shooting 8bit, with all that banding and lack of
flexibility in post. Now we have 14bit colour and can debayer the raw
to 4:4:4 EXR using the full power and sophistication of an ILM
workstation. That’s a bit of a step up from DIGIC 5. Effectively the
image processor of the camera has been moved out of the DSLR and into
the realm of Resolve, Intel and NVidia. That is a big thing. No more
DIGIC debayer or mushy H.264 encoder.
"Dynamic range and overall quality is pretty much identical to the
22MP raw stills on the 5D Mark III so you can imagine what a step up
this is for any league of video camera, let alone one costing $3000.
That Canon sensor is doing a very good job indeed and I am amazed."
