So basically they made a beast back then, but converted it to a minion for some financial concerns.

There were no 1000X CF cards back then.... And people were not too keen on having grey/no preview in live mode.

But there was 600x, which could handle 90MB/s. MagicLantern 1920x960@60 14bit lossless is around 70MB/s.

and Canon would be bogged down with customer service calls 24/7

Can we not just enjoy this without the usual Canon bullshit agenda?

[Nikkor]

Canon could have done a 1920x1080p@60fps h264 mode, any card can handle that.

[Mattias Burling]

Not all sensors can handle all numbers of FPS. 
There has been plenty of cameras out there that didn't get the sales they could have due to 30p only.
And it isn't just a firmware thing, then they would have done it. Its a limitation of the sensor.

A good example of testing this for myself was the Panasonic CM1. Best camera phone to date imo.
It shots 30p only. But was API2 capable.
So easy fix then... just download Cinema 4K or Open Camera and force it to 24 or 25p?
No, not that easy.

When forcing the camera to do 25, 24, 23,9, 26, 10, what ever.
Anything but 30p resulted in..... 60p!

So I discovered slowmotion, yey for me!
But I also learned first hand that the reason that Canon for example has 30p only in what could be a legendary camera, the GX1ii, isn't because they aren't aware that 25p is the world standard.
Theres probably more to it than that.

But we all know this already. Name one camera that hasn't been ripped to shreds on forums by people convinced they know more from a glance at a spec cheat than the engineers, strategists, economists, etc, etc that spend billions making the stuff.

Canon "could" have done any number of things... Just like Nikon could, or Sony could, or Lumix could.... They didn't, life moved on. Except on here!

Yeah sure Jimmy, but they should have.

[Jimmy]

Hopefully when you run your billion dollar camera company, you can show them how it's done!

If they wanted to tank the company maybe. But I guess they rather keep on being the number one selling brand and making huge loads of cash.
Sure they loose customers like me that own zero Canons. But they gain 100 others.

They gain Customers because the 5D has no 1080 60fps mode?

[webrunner5]

If you go on DPR right now, there are probably less than 5% of the Canon shooters on there, that even want ANYTHING video realated to even BE on the camera, let alone use it!

And I am sure as hell bet they pay more attention to DPR users than us on here. Or it sure as hell seems that way to me with what they put out products wise. They want US to buy a Canon C100 mkII, not a Canon 5D mkIV it seems. And hell I guess it is working. All bases covered. Smart of them.

5D Mark iii 3k raw > C300

Only with some kind of stabilization. The jello is very noticable handheld.

yeah, it's crazy on that shot of the girl but everything else is nice.

I'm on my holidays, otherwise I'd be all over this. A1ex just posted"

"new build posted (minor fixes + experimental 8/10/12-bit lossless)."

Gamechanger? Somebody please load that up right now!

I still wonder what these guys could do with the much more powerful hw of nx1, if just they wanted.

That is a crazy good difference going to the 5D. Lot more sharpness, but still retaining the Canon look. That is a hell of a good combination.

Yep, definitely. That's a hw from about 2020 (in canikon terms) vs a hw from about 2012.

I feel they oversharpened the 5d iii footage. The sharpness looks digital. But thats just personal.

But the 5d iii is a beast!
