  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?

6D is reaching 40MB/s. Double 600D, but still half of what common 1000x CF cards achieve on the 5D Mark III (80MB/s+) so not good enough for 1080p raw.   Alex thinks it is card controller limit not card on 600D. So it may be stuck at the lower resolutions. Let's wait and see.

  I have been saying this for 5 days now.

  Any other requests boss??!

That's not what I am saying at all HurtinMinorKey. Art and commerce are not separate endeavours.   I am an independent professional with my own projects. It isn't abject nonsense it is a statement of fact. I decided not to enter the established commercial filmmaking world and to concentrate on my OWN projects and making money that way instead like an entrepreneurial filmmaker. Tom Lowe is another one. Seems you don't understand oh dear.

  I actually like it and will be posting reasons why in later blog :)

  Hang on. Why are you taking early pre-alpha dev code like it is a final conclusion?   A bit early to judge no?

1D X would be interesting sure, but I think the focus of ML is on the more affordable cameras at the moment.   It was only a Canon rep / salesman who made the remark about 'full force of legal team' if anyone modified the 1D X. He was ill informed and doesn't have any authority. Ignore.
