Andrew thanks again for your great coverage. Your blog is such an incredible source of independent practical advise! i am bored of these overrated japanse paied Magic Lantern critics (Read Laforet) that are just as ridiculous in their opinions as it is Canon with such piloted pricing and specs policy. The fact is that even if I am very happy of the raw I am getting now on the 5D Mark III , I feel the strange paradox of having at the same time lost all my respect for Canon.

PROVE THEY HAVE THE GOODS   - Request to see photos of the item being sold with their EOSHD username displayed alongside it, preferably in handwriting on piece of paper so it cannot be faked.   COMMUNICATE   - Check their forum posting history, see if they are new. If they have a genuine history of posts and contributions to the forum, the seller is more likely to be genuine. - If possible speak with the seller by telephone - Until a deal has been closed, converse with the seller openly on the forum   ASK FOR ID   - Get a real name, address and ID - If they refuse full details on privacy grounds, ask to continue the deal and all private comms via eBay instead of the forum   USE SAFE PAYMENT METHOD   - DO NOT use Western Union or wire transfers - PayPal is preferable over bank transfers - Ask if they accept cash on collection   SELLERS   - Sellers should provide a price in the main topic - Sellers should provide a link to their feedback on eBay and be contactable via their eBay account - Topics that don't meet these rules may be at risk of being deleted   DISCLAIMER   EOSHD is not responsible for buying and selling on the forums, deal at your own risk and buyer beware

I think 'we', being those that visit great sites such as this one, are perhaps giving ourselves a false impression to how big certain markets are.   Just a cursory glance at the number of downloads the ML raw builds tells the tale of a few hundred at best.   Compared to the interest in these devices as photographic cameras rather than movie making machines, I think we are small fry.

The campaign was driven by Canon’s understanding of its consumers’ imaging needs   Though not ours, obviously.   The campaign, the first from Canon to encompass all consumer and pro product categories   Aimed at pro product categories, based on an understanding of consumers imaging needs? Uh oh.   "We want to inspire and support everyone in taking their ‘next step’, whether it be in photography, shooting video or printing special moments."   Translation: "We want you to upgrade"   Consumer: "But our 550D's are the same as the 2013 models!"   Canon has a strong heritage of supporting users on their imaging journey   In all my time of running EOSHD for the past 3 years, not once has Canon helped me.   Video content sits at the core of the campaign   So not just a niche then.

My 'rama 36 may be available. I'm being tempted by a 5dmk3, and need to raise some funds. a little separation, but hasnt got worse in the year I have used it for, and it is at the top and bottom of the lens optics so isnt directly in the light path, and certainly doesnt impart any visible issues. It's a single coated version (bronze/warm) not multi coated blue/purple. close focus mod for 3.5ft, silky smooth focus ring. I'm not gonna be selling on ebay just because it is too open for scamster buyers. It's a lovely example and I have been quoted £200 for a reglue of the separated optics here in the uk. so factor that in if you are thinking of buying to repair - though I seriously dont think its worth it. search my vids on vimeo for examples of some of the half hearted stuff I have used it for.:) http://vimeo.com/49847311 http://vimeo.com/57724126 http://vimeo.com/56135073 http://vimeo.com/55452126 http://vimeo.com/55033071 http://vimeo.com/55029919 http://vimeo.com/50363360 http://vimeo.com/50175295

Here we go again with more Cinema EOS propaganda from peederj. You're heading to the door, because I am frankly SICK of reading it.   All sensors output raw data at various video frame rates even your iPhone. What the Magic Lantern project proves is that Compact Flash cards and cheap consumer electronics are capable of writing that data internally, without an external recorder.   Yet the $25,000 C500 cannot do this, and doesn't even have an SSD slot. It's a failed product design. A version 0.5 camera.   Needless to say, I'm not targeting EOSHD at people who have money to burn on a C500.   It's very simple...   I'm interested in what gives me the most cinematic image for under $6000, as an ownership prospect not rental.   That isn't the C100 I'm afraid.   C500 isn't a sensible ownership prospect nor does it have a good specs sheet. I was renting I'd go F55 or Epic.
