Just get three BMPCC4ks

It's cool. But why are people so excited I don't understand...

I'm sure we'll get there

There are so many options for decent 4k & video features these days (at an unbeatable price point) that I'm no longer hoping for Canon to satisfy my requirements. The party is somewhere else now and boy is it raging! I'll always remember Canon fondly. The 5d II was my first proper camera and then the 5D III. Only reason I've still kept hold of it - Great stills, and great video (But only with Magic Lantern). However I shall be selling it soon to raise money for more gear

Colours are beautiful. Great shots too.

Thanks man! Yeah it's good to see ML alive and well. The slomo is indeed 48p RAW I'm saving for a BMPCC4k at the moment, but I can still see myself using my 5d & ML moving forward too.

Just completed an edit of my showreel. All footage shot with my 5d II + ML. Been using it professionally (As in making a living with it) for about 1 year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1js__2cAdjE

My 5D II ML footage is always super noise (But colours are sooo pretty). Any post-production pointers or tutorials/workflows anybody recommends?

Wow. The EU are so progressive...

Absolutely. I've been thinking of upgrading to the BMPCC 4K but this would have the potential to sway me I think. Even little tweaks as stated above like better playback. It's embarrassing having the jittering greyscale playback when I do shoot ML if people wanna see footage I've caught on the day. Dual pixel AF obviously great. 2K - fantastic. If I went with the BMPCC then I'd have to buy an adaptor & CFast cards etc. If ML got working on the IV then I'd simply sell my MKIII and buy some more Komputerbay CF cards and perhaps a new monitor :)

Canon who?

Does the 14bit lossless compression work for 2k or 1080p full frame? Also what kind of card are you using?

Very, very interested in the lossless 14bit RAW with 58% less file size. I can't afford a new camera right now so this is great news and invigorating!

I know the 5D III footage is old news but I have tons of cool footage shot in mushy, Canon codec. Does anyone know of anyway to improve resolution or quality in any sense? Would upscaling be worth it at all, and are there any decent methods? Any helpful comments would be much appreciated!

In 2016 I'm quite indifferent to Canon product launches tbh. Maybe couple of year ago I'd be really frustrated if Canon released a successor to the 5DIII that was this lackluster. But there are so many other options out there now. I don't even buy Canon lenses anymore! There is so much variety it's great
