thanks ar188,i'm using the same AE900 like urs
Both pics taken without grey card but with 40D,mount on tripod,shoot in RAW at iso100,F4.5,speed < 1sec and AWB.Tripod was not move at same location and lighting condition everything same.I din adjust the WB when open in CS3,just cropped and resize.I found both pics the white part wash out.One thing i found quite hard is when u try to pause the scene(maybe only in PS3?),the still image is not "sharp" compare to the when the playback the movie.That lost a lot of details from the original pics.
For me,the difference in both pics is on the 2nd pic,the brightness looks a bit high,can see more details on the black portion and the contrast is good.The advantage is even the brightness is higher,the black portion still doesnt looks too "grey",almost same compare to 1st pic.The wash out on the "white" portion maybe becos of the contrast was setting a bit too high.( i'm using "cinema 3",contrast at +10 and brightness at -8 ). Bro arr188,mind to share which mode u normally use and what's the setting? U got Happy Feet US version too?
However,the different only can be seen after taking the pics and do comparison like above.When in movie playback i cant really tell the different.Hopefully can pinjam someone 1k HDMI cable?

below is another pic taken with Pana HDMI,i adjust WB a bit with the RAW pic
