dariSSight#1 as far as i can tell, the Tiff file contains the full color information and original resolution. The DNG is transfered to Tiff with 16Bit color depth and so the full 14Bit should transfer in the process. No Banding etc. The PS Image Processor gives you the option to process the DNG to different sizes: 1880x854 (1,6MP) 2048x930 (1,9MP+) or 3072x1395 (4,3MP +) with 240 PPI the resulting 3K Tiff files really show much more detail in comparison to the original DNGs. I don't know if this resolution is just achieved through upscaling the 1880x854 or if the 3K data is backed in in the DNG files, but it really looks nice. It is a shame youtube just compresses everything to 2K in 8Bit 420.
When it comes to image quality and pure resolution and detail the Red cameras are the industy standard, but the images coming out of the 5D2 and 3 are nothing short of amazing. The Red cameras are designed to deliver the best possible image in the 2K+ range and there is a noticeable difference when you compare the upscaled 3K with an 3K R3d file, but it is not as dominant as one would think. I would say you can intercut footage and it would not be a major problem
