I just shot an event video on a 5d Mkiii and a 7d, both shooting raw, all footage processed in Da Vinci. The 5d stuff looked flawless. As sharp as the C100, but with better color, and no compression issues.
The 7d stuff on the other hand, had purple fringes on all the highlights, and totally unusable aliasing and moire on most horizontal lines. Short of a VAF filter or a stable implementation of the crop, I don't think I'd try to shoot this way again.
That being said, I still do prefer the look of the raw images to the h.264. The work being done here is incredible.

I wonder if it's due to the 14bit depth that the 7D footage has. As far as I know, Resolve only handles up to 12? Correct me if I'm wrong. I was having the same issues until I processed the footage through ACR in AE. I'm not sure if there's an easy way to go from 14 to 12 though. Maybe after you flatten your footage out, you can compress to a 10bit codec for working on your color grade.
