Nice video, but you missed some very important details!!!
The IQ160 was @ ISO 50 & Æ’16 ... when the sony was @ ISO 100 & Æ’11 - it is obvious that the sony will have better shadow recovery, it has two more stops of light!! and you even said that the sony image was brighter.

As for the Fringing in the highlights of the IQ, C1 needs for you to tell which lens you are using to be able to calculate the chromatic abbreviation.

It would awesome if you redid the battle using all the same parameters and use a light meter to show the change of the Æ’stops to give a fair advantage on the DOF. You should also contact P1 and have them send you the XF with the new IQ350 CMOS back with a NEW 120mm macro to test drive and lock the mirror up to be 100% fair

even through I am a P1 ambassador, I think sony is producing some awesome gear and would love to try it out.

Thanks for your comment Chris.
