  No it isn't.

  You're like the guy at the first space shuttle launch who turned around half way through and said "ah seen enough, give me my dinner" and went home.   I bet on the way home you were muttering to yourself saying "ah who needs spaceships when you have a car".

  Great to hear this. You truly get it!

  Even in this early pre-Alpha, pre-release development code Alex has experiment playback working already.   It is very basic but will improve massively.   People are saying same things about raw as when 1080p came out... Big file sizes, can't figure out the workflow, don't need the extra resolution. 1080p became the standard. Same will happen with raw. Today's terrabyte is tomorrow's megabyte.

  One word. Raw.   There are many pros who need to shoot raw.   How many pro photographers shoot JPEG?   C300 and C100 ergonomics are overrated. I know many pros at top of their game who dislike the C300's ergonomics. Not good ENG for example. DSLR hassles are overstated. How simple is pressing a button and recording an image? Every camera needs rigging for handheld work, your C300 doesn't float on a magic carpet. DSLR is smaller and lighter thus easier to rig. The audio side is fixed in the same way that Hollywood did it with Super 35mm. Separate audio recorder. If that is too much hassle for you (oh dear) then Magic Lantern has full manual audio control for external mics and it works.   A lot of people are down on DSLRs because they couldn't figure them out. C300 makes it easier for them to figure out. Simple broadcast ready codec, simple ergonomics and build in ND, simple audio, simple image as well haha.

Need to know what's wrong with it before I can fix it John. Email me please! http://www.eoshd.com/contact

  Haha amazing. Will follow that closely.

  It is nothing unusual, they all vary. Think in terms of overclocking CPUs. Some of the same silicon could be pushed very far without overheating and hanging, whilst some couldn't.

  Again they vary.   James Miller has two. One is barely doing 70MB/s and one is 85MB/s. Both 128GB 1000x KomputerBay cards.   The fast one has TOPXCARD K10 chipset, the slow one is SMI.   This is probably the CF memory chip controller chipset however, because the same SMI chipset is in my fast 64GB KomputerBay.   Clearly the memory is clocked differently.

  No idea... I've not been testing it!

  There's no crew at EOSHD it's just me :)   Thanks dude.

  Looks good but currently untested?

  HDMI is difficult at the moment. 1) They have not full reverse engineered the HDMI chipset. 2) The camera processes the HDMI signal so cannot output clean raw data. 3) You'd need a bespoke recorder that was able to take the raw data over HDMI, it isn't the same as a video signal.

I'm testing anamorphic today on the 5D Mark III but not sure about 5D2 as don't have one. I'd say it is worth upgrading to be honest. Image is much cleaner on the 5D Mark III and you can do much higher resolutions!

Genesis by James Miller Shooting spectacular raw video on the 5D Mark III requires UDMA 7 compact flash cards. Ideally you need a 1000x 64GB or 128GB card and certainly more than one for anything but very short shoots. Here's my guide to which ones to go for. Read the full article here

Just a word of advice... Please use Vimeo for future uploads, no more YouTube mush. Compress very lightly to H.264 and make sure this file is downloadable via Vimeo. I recommend at least 24Mbit VBR, 50MBit max.

  Leica 50mm F2.0 on that one. Cheers

Not denying any of that pee.   Also I am not criticising Laforet in the way you're insinuating. I suggest you re-read the blog post!   You clearly haven't seen the DNG files if you're not sure it provides more resolution or dynamic range than the HDMI out with log gamma!!!   You don't need a chart test just use your bloody eyes mate!

Yep does seem to be a bug.   I am running Windows under VMWare for when I need it.

Raw compression is most likely impossible in-camera as it requires very powerful processors like the Epic and a fan for cooling, neither of which the 5D Mark III has.   Even Motion JPEG still requires more processing than raw does!

Great test Neumann, any Vimeo version of this with downloadable file?   YouTube compression muddies the water a bit. To me the 5D Mark III looks much better than the GH2 even on YouTube.

Yes, the SD is definitely capable of faster write speeds than 22MB/s.   Not a card bottle neck, looks like controller one.

  Yep, bad wording on my part, it is not what I meant.   What I meant was "route of a entrepreneur rather than a hired hand".   And BTW, nothing wrong with either route and not one is superior to the other, it just depends what turns you on.

Why do you need HDMI 50p out when you have internal 50p raw?   Raw 1080p 50p is very unlikely it requires very high data rates. I have 1280x540 at 50p working OK though, in raw.   H.264 1080p 50p - no idea if possible.   Peaking is already in there but I use it on the SmallHD DP6 via HDMI for monitoring.

Sure it is not the space in path to file that is causing the problem not the 2GB file size?
