  1. How can you look soft and over sharp at the same time?

     

    Budget was $50k I heard.

     

    Including funding his own distribution.

     

    It's a stunning achievement. Not even released on BluRay or in rest of the world yet. Word of mouth is still growing for the movie. By the time the year is out he's likely to have taken over $1m easily.

     

    I think he'll handle Europe / UK in same way he handled the US. Film festival, promotion online, word of mouth, then theatrical run based on some healthy buzz.

  2. Looks every bit as detailed as the GH2, but with better codec out of the box and of course 1080/60p, better screen, etc.

     

    I wouldn't be surprised if it beat the GH3 on image quality in video mode too. Need to test that.

     

    If the camera is so detailed with sharpness at 0 or -2 there's no need to sharpen in post any more, something I had to get used to with my FS100 and 5D Mark III footage.

  3. You mentioned some of the reasons in the article yourself... this camera is still in a very general segment, and they would have a lot of tech suppoty to do once people started to shoot 3.5k DNG sequences and tried to open that in their home computers...

     

    Yes but I was more referring to video DNG and slow cards, not raw burst modes of 50 frames like what already exists on the Nikon V1.

     

    The 7D Mark II is getting a 30fps / 60fps burst mode according to rumours.

     

    If 5D mark III can already do at least 30 frames raw burst at 30fps, it should be in there unless it decreases the life of the camera dramatically.

  4. Hi guys,

    Don't know if it's plausible but this: http://www.amazon.com/Tanboo-Photofast-quot-Adapter-Silver/dp/B00B8QY2KE/ref=sr_1_31?ie=UTF8&qid=1367508846&sr=8-31&keywords=photofast + extension cable + fast 1.8 inch compatible SSD + glue it to the camera. Anyone? ;)

     

     

    So here's a 1.8" SSD http://www.amazon.co.uk/KingSpec-1-8-inch-50-pin-Solid-State/dp/B007PFI5HS

     

    But what is the Tanboo exactly? I only see one connector on it - is that 50 pin CF or standard CF?

     

    Write speeds seem low. IDE is not as fast as SATA. I'm not sure it will work, but interesting.

  5. Write speed of the buffer is definitely no problem. It is able to continuously capture the 14bit raw stream from the sensor even in 3.5K mode. It is not as simple as sticking different cards in there and finding out where performance levels off. There's more variables here than card speed. All sorts of as mysterious internal Canon code, debayering, live view stuff, etc. I'll leave it to the Magic Lantern devs, they know far more than me on how to proceed.

  6. I wouldn't be surprised if they activated the feature on the 7D2, after all it already exists.

     

    That's Canon.

     

    They probably have the next 5 years features planned out, and will just turn them on in firmware :)

     

    Does anyone else find it quite funny that an outside programming team have been able to deliver 30fps burst before Canon's own team delivered it to the market!?

    These past days I have been trying to make myself useful to Alex at Magic Lantern and testing the DNG raw video recording on the 5D Mark III with a nightly build of Magic Lantern. Here's what the video quality looks like in the DNG video modes at 30fps.

  8. That's very far from the current consensus.

     

    1920x720 is under the date rate that a 1000x CF card can do, so should be possible. You can see my next blog post, there's a LOT of stuff in that. I won't reveal too much until that is online, but already the 1920x1285 14bit raw is very usable as a 30fps 1 second burst mode like the Nikon V1. Rendering my sample clips as we speak.

     

    Bear in mind also that is still very early days with this. Lots of progress is in the pipeline just takes time.
