Administrators Andrew Reid Posted September 7, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 7, 2018 Magic Lantern proof of concept code is running on the 5D Mark IV. The developers are looking for volunteers to install it on their cameras and help with the research and testing process.

mercer Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 This is interesting. I wonder how long before a proof of concept can become a stable release? And I wonder if the Canon Log version would need a workaround or make it impossible for them to crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 A shame it's a crop camera, 4k Fullframe DPAF RAW would have been so nice ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted September 7, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted September 7, 2018 Even if they can't get 4K RAW out of it reliably, full frame 2K RAW with Dual Pixel AF is not to be sniffed at mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Yeah but would the crop apply with ML? But even so, it would still make an amazing 1080p Raw with the buffer and CF cards. 60p Raw should be a breeze with DPAF. The 3.5K Raw feature of the Mark iii should be great as well. @Nikkor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in other words... Who knows? Wait and see. The 5D Mark III 3.5K RAW was a huge surprise and I never thought the hardware was capable of it. kaylee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Either way, I would assume that when/if they work it out, 14bit 2.5K or 2.7K in 2:35, with DPAF, should theoretically be possible. And if I could get 2K 60p to run continuously, it will be worth the upgrade for me. And I was thinking about getting the P4K next spring... I guess I’m back to a wait and see with that.

Bioskop.Inc Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 This is great news - heads spinning with so many great options that are presenting themselves to us. 13 minutes ago, mercer said: And I was thinking about getting the P4K next spring...

Think if they get the 4K working on the 5D, this might be a better option to the P4K as it will take photos too. mercer and hansel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And DPAF with Canon lenses I already own. Sure I can manual focus, I’ve been doing it for years, but I can’t deny that a usable AF with Raw Video really appeals to me... especially as a run and gun, one man band filmmaker.

I already can see your forum post about which Canon lenses have the most silent AF ?, continous AF sounds from old lenses in liveview/video are horrible.

mercer Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 To add, I wasn’t planning on getting the P4K anytime soon anyway, so I have plenty of time to see how this plays out. Hopefully, they’ll get a jolt of progress in the beginning and we’ll know more of the possibilities in the coming days and weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true, but that would only affect tracking, right? For rack focusing, it would be single point, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomekk Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 If anything, I think, ML will be the only thing keeping me from selling all my canon gear, sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateMale Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I only got the 5dmk3 bcus of magic lantern RAW video and wanted to get the 5dmk4 also only if it gets magic lantern RAW video, but it seems that with BMPCC4k is coming out soon + i really like what am seeing also and the price is just too good, canon will never see my money ever again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seku Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 similar here. FullHD video was the reason i got the 5dmk2, and only ML made me upgrade to 5dmk3. Nowadays i am quite happy with my GH5, but i admit that i lust for that panasonic fullframe announcement. Canon glass is the only thing that i have left... and frankly, with the new mount coming up, i think i will sell that as well... and go for some older Contax or Leica glass.

If i need more lens, i'll get the sigma art lens. The bmpcc4k is just too good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 And unfortunately just as quickly as that people are being sucked into the mythical siren's songs..... but they'll be sure to get their hearts dashed against the ocean's rocks in the future again.
