  1. MLVFS needs FUSE on MacOS, and it does work on Linux but I'd question why you'd even bother with it on Android as the mobile processors don't exactly cut through RAW video in Resolve, do they....
  2. Come on, it's an old old arguement that there should be such a big divide between cameras for stills and cameras for video! We both know they do both so well. Otherwise, we'd all be satisfied with our small 1/2.3 inch handycams and gopros. The only DSLR that is not a video camera is the Nikon DF. They took the video off purely for marketing reasons. Also Canon have competition, they don't exist in a bubble. If they aren't competing with Sony for customers, then what are they even in the consumer electronics business for? To whither and die? You were... And a very good one. Hope you go back to that some day! Get into the spirit of things again I just picked up a Leica T from watching your YouTube channel. Photography is a big thing for me. But so is video. And I really love the DSLR price tag, the unassuming small body compared to a RED or C300. I hate - HATE - being a single operator of a cinema camera for my street cinematography - always feel like I am about to be robbed or told off for not having a permit. In a closed set for a music video then a big camera is fine... still a heavy pain in the ass for handheld though... And I hate rigs. There was a reason when the DSLR revolution started why filmmakers and DPs started using them for personal projects and other stuff... Because it was FUN!! Sadly, this is bullshit nonsense. Canon do not endorse or want ML in any way on their cameras and whatever effect ML is having on sales, Canon can't even detect as they have no way of knowing or researching the impact. It could be quite sizeable in my opinion but in no way does Canon care. They see it as an illegal hacking project, end of story. The reason 4K is not on the 6D II is presumably they did some market research and their idiot customers told them 1080p is what we want, it's easy to use. Which is why you should NEVER ask the public what they want. BREXIT anyone?
  3. Raw Magic is great but it doesn't support the new 10bit / 12bit compressed RAW yet... At least my version didn't...?
  4. Moire is not 100% absolutely completely gone but it is FAR better than the 100D out of the box video mode! Yes a good second unit to a 5D3, but it depends on how you use it. The 70D is double the price but has the benefit of articulated screen and Dual Pixel AF. I have always had a soft spot for the 100D though with it being so small and light compared to 5D3 and even the 70D. 80D, EOS M5 have a brighter future if ML port ever comes to fruition, which I think it will do eventually!
  5. The Canon 100D is £250 used and I have always had a bit of a soft spot for it, being the smallest and lightest Canon DSLR body. I recently installed an experimental version of Magic Lantern on the 100D and am absolutely taken-aback by how good the image is! It practically eliminates moire and softness. The 100D shoots continuous 1.7K RAW video in 25p and 24p to SD card. Read the full article
  6. Bad defence. 6D Mark II doesn't have ML RAW! It's not the same at all. Different chipset and processor. Performance will be completely different and likely much worse. Also there are key lenses still without OIS to support optimal EIS performance, like the Canon 24-70mm F2.8L II. Don't make me laugh! They'd rather it didn't exist. What a stupid comment! All I am asking for is an editable 4K codec on their 2017 DSLRs costing $2000+! So have 4K disabled out of the box and a $100 add on like V-LOG on the GH5, then.
  7. UPDATE: Ah got it. MLVFS. Blog post coming. Shooting continuous 10bit video on the £250 Canon 100D at close to 1.8k in 2.35:1
  8. What apps are you guys using to convert compressed RAW 10bit MLV to DNG on a Mac? I have searched for a few and only Mystic beta 0.5 works so far - but there are green focus pixels all over the frame on the 100D.
  9. The current state of video on Canon DSLRs continues to go from bad to worse. Read the full article
  10. Don't think Canon has a colour advantage any more. I am getting often superior results with EOSHD Pro Color on the A99 II, and the GH5's 10bit is something else.
  11. They have reduced the price of the A7S II (and A7R II) by £500 on WEX in the UK. Is this a new thing or on-going reduction?
  12. How about the Voigtlander 10.5mm F0.95? Anyone tried this yet?
  13. I'm talking about the way people shoot now, not in the 50's. Yes there will always be the exception like a crew with 4 A-cams all with the same purpose. But in my mind and in this topic with Oliver we are talking supporting role, small camera, multiple bodies at a price lower than the A cam.
  14. No, it's absurd to deny the existence of B-cameras. Same camera as the A cam isn't a B cam, it's another A cam!! That's the way the concept works!
  15. Anyone watching Oliver Stone's Putin interviews on Sky Atlantic? Canon C series but 5D Mk III as B-camera and quite a few DSLRs going on there. B-cameras are a real thing... Saying C200 is B-cam on a C200 shoot is just silly.
  16. Enjoy. I'll give you a free copy of EOSHD Pro Color to go with it, just DM me when it arrives!
  17. Find the one that responds to protocols over HTTP and get that one I know what you mean though - I have the same dilemmas, in the end Mk IV has stood the test of time and I didn't feel upgraditus coming on... The A6300 and A6500 on the other hand, I regret buying.
  18. Who cares about sales? Most people are sheep with minimum knowledge, and as I'm not a Canon shareholder I don't care about who is in the lead of sales, I care about what is going to give me the most artistic image, best specs, the most convenient form factor and best value for money.
  19. Yes. Obviously the GH5 has the edge on the codec side with 10bit and it has slow-mo. Nearly everything else is better on the Olympus though, including the general 'feel' when using it. What is surprising about both is just how good the colour and skintones are... Canon have competition. I know I will keep both as they are too hard to sell... Obviously with the GH5 I don't absolutely need the E-M1 II but there is something about it that's compelling... a nicer feel in the hand and slightly better stabilisation with 90% of the video quality of the GH5.
  20. It's not C-mount. It's Arri Standard mount (Arri-S)
  21. I have upgraded your forum profile to a Super Member so you can edit your original post and generally have mod-like access to the forum. Thanks for all your efforts so far on the project.
  22. You can get great results with the wire insert for horizontal flare and the oval iris. Look at the prices then you will understand and appreciate it...
  23. Ah yes saw those from Ironglass, very nice work from the Ukraine. Looks like a real talent behind the endeavour. Perhaps we have our new DogSchidtOptiks
