It's been a while since I had any real web-hosting, but that's changed now and I'll be able to provide links for various FX1-shot content including pictures and the like. Some of these may be familiar as I've posted before, but the links are different.
Here is an album of a few FX1 frame grabs. Some may have a little bit of colour correction, all were shot 1080i:

All of the shots in this album were shot CF24:

Two quick (still photo) keying tests:

And a visual effects example (shot CF30):

A few miscellaneous shooting notes:
If you're planning on doing a lot of visual effects, shooting in the CF modes is a great way to cut down on the hassle of interlace and reduce compression artifacts. While people are usually informed to "shoot 60i" and "CF modes suck" - by the time you take into account the compression algorithm, you can often end up with better data from a CF30 image than you will from deinterlaced 1080i.
