  Let me know if you need anything from the admin panel - like IP address, etc.   This guy was a new user here, this was his first post. That should be another warning. Only deal with people who have a history of genuine posts and contributions!   I also recommend asking for some form of ID and an address if you are dealing in large sums of money.   I'm going to put a page up with some basic rules. Forums are not eBay so you must be more careful.   Hope anyone who has been stung gets to the bottom of this.

Same guy as on DVXUser I hear.   These things are very rare, but a reminder to be careful. NEVER use wire transfer. Try to close the deal via PayPal or an eBay Buy It Now page. Ask to see eBay feedback or at the very least a photo of the lens with their forum username written on paper alongside it.   This is very easy to do.   Carry on dealing, just use the basic checks.

Some are fickle, consumerism is like that. Some just wanted a product Canon wasn't providing like better than 8bit, for less than $15,000.

If not for Magic Lantern, Canon was in danger of losing countless customers of DSLR video to Blackmagic.   And Sony (FS100)   And Nikon (D5200)   And Panasonic (GH3)

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.

There's something I'm trying to get my head around as well with the low light stuff.   I think with raw if you take a bright area of your image and boost it in post, no matter the camera ISO, the exposure is rated low (ISO 200 for example) for bright areas. Dark areas will be more like the real ISO 6400.   I think you should try pushing some shadows to get true 25,600.   Try setting the ISO to native, 800 or something. Then do an exposure which is under by 4 stops and evenly lit across the frame.   In post push that 4 stops, and you should get real 25,600. I could be wrong on this though.

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.

Raw from the C100 sensor. Now there's a good idea.   Over to you Canon.

  Nuts.   People need to calm down on the auctions, more money than sense. if they'd waited a week or two they could have bought one for $1600 less on a Buy It Now deal.   Let's not have these hyper inflate to the point where it's no fun any more.

Since Erjot is a new user, do not deal with him unless he can provide full contact details, address, ID and also try and conclude any deals on eBay. Get him to list the item as a Buy It Now and do the transaction on there, with PayPal and their protection.   The forum is not designed to conclude transactions with newbies with no feedback and no posting record so buyer beware.

Who are these mythical advance scouts who have shot with the BMC4K?   What the hell is a hypewave?   Global shutter has a trade off in image quality because it reduces the space for the actual light capturing areas of the sensor, but to me a scout is someone who goes out there in the field and sees it for his own eyes, and nobody has done that yet. Until the camera footage is out there and not some fraud video on YouTube, we won't know what the dynamic range is like.   The hype for dynamic range on Blackmagic's cameras to date has been more than justified. Rather than see the Production Camera as 'hype' why not see it as the CHOICE it really is, between dynamic range on the 2.5K camera and 4K / global shutter on the Production Camera. It's a bit too much to expect 15 stops, global shutter and 4K for $4k. Canon wouldn't give us that for half a million!

The DNGs? They were shot at ISO 800 and if you lift the deep shadows you're getting ISO 3200 and maybe more.   I think I underexposed too much on some shots, trying to match the KineRaw. It's tricky to do.

Moved to Screening Room. Please post links to your work in this sub-forum in future. Cheers

I don't think this is really BMPC footage. Whilst on this subject anyway, I think it is a good idea to mention this:   Asus 4K LCD monitor is here!     http://www.asus.com/News/L9xTPmmMwTlPMq5l

I've uploaded some here. Link to the pack is at the top of the article   http://www.eoshd.com/content/10525/kinefinity-kineraw-review

Mark II. Mark III is cleaner and more detailed, also supports higher resolutions.

That's a pretty good point about storage. For that $300 on CineForm you're saving 90% on storage costs.   7D users...   Next logical step for 7D users I think is to get a 2nd body, a 50D. Then you can use your EFS lenses on it and try out raw, see if it is for you, then if you feel it is working out, later upgrade to the 5D Mark III. There's no point holding out indefinitely for a 7D version of raw recording as the quality is unlikely to be any better than the 50D.

A professional workflow for 5D Mark III raw is now available. GoPro CineForm Raw offers 10:1 compression and can be edited directly in Adobe Premiere and Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 9. Adobe Cinema DNG brings a Blackmagic Cinema Camera style workflow to the 5D Mark III and is ideal for grading uncompressed raw in DaVinci Resolve.

  1280 x 540 at 60p works fine on 1000x card.

Download the newest version of Raw2DNG and turn caps lock off.

Seems like some very misleading marketing going on with the 1000x+ speeds. I'd ignore and seek out the write speeds. Also if a genuinely good card arrives, it won't be long before someone buys one and tries it, then shares the results - so it pays to wait.
