Anyway, back to the subject of this article - Magic Lantern.  Fantastic news!  I think we all know the firmware is the main limiting factor in the 5D III's performance.  I haven't ordered yet and have been a vocal critic on these forums, but if it can be hacked to give a higher bitrate, I'm ready to buy. [/quote] Well of course they did ! I meant in a way that can be changed via firmware hack!

if they can improve the resolution it will be a deal breaker. I doubt Canon was so stupid to limit the resolution via software though

[quote author=Giovanni Bertani link=topic=621.msg4557#msg4557 date=1335166969] People like to hang to those packaged theories about Japan as a static traditional society, it reassure them. Well. I would say that by having direct knowledge of Sony's corporate culture [b]they are not far away to the reality[/b]. But... this to me applies to Sony and the [b]error here is judging an entire society as a whole[/b]. Look at Toyota and you find huge investments on Hybrid cars that are going to get disruptive soon. On the other side of the ocean the [b]US car industry has been quiet an example of "Stuck on incremental[/b], not disruptive innovation" and in the same time totally loosing the product quality and US is supposed to be a much more dynamic society... We could talk about Motorola, HP, Kodak, IBM etc...  In Europe there so many examples including Nokia etc... So... to me Canon is really treating the lower part of the digital film market in very conservative way as did Sony and I bet that they will be obliged to react to avoid loosing a lot of customers like me and many on this forum [/quote] 100% agree with you

It's still TOO FUNNY that the C500 with 4k 120fps has the DV III processor!! This means they've been joking with us since day 1

I meant a DSRL with real 1080p.

I don't think Sony will do it because they're like Canon with high end cameras to protect. The only hope is Panasonic and Nikon. Too bad Panasonic is stuck with 4/3:(

So Canon thinks it's better to release things "no one" could afford with stupid things missing (like articulating screen) instead of a great $800 650D wtih GH2-like 1080p that will [b]destroy [/b] every single product from competitors and sell millions? I'll never understand how economy works ;D

I think this signs the end of video dominance for Canon? Its clear for them they only way to get a real 1080p on their DSLR you have to spend at least 10k

I would like to know if Canon is completely out of the game for low budget video so me and my lenses can move on :D

The aliasing on the D800 is HORRIBLE. No company can make it right :S

The video quality of D800 definitely DESTROYS THE CANON 5D! I don't think it's like the FS100/GH2 but it comes very close

[quote author=Andrew Reid - EOSHD link=topic=395.msg2503#msg2503 date=1331657773] [quote author=sandro link=topic=395.msg2502#msg2502 date=1331653943] so the resolution sucks? [/quote] No it certainly doesn't. No anti-aliasing filter means the sensor and lens deliver optimal sharpness. Although it is 16MP to 24MP on the NEX 7 it keeps the low light advantage of a lower megapixel count with some of the resolution advantages of higher pixel count. See Nikon D800E for further example. [/quote] Sorry I was talking about the video part

so the resolution sucks?

W-O-W

[quote author=MatthewP link=topic=369.msg2356#msg2356 date=1331243153] Hmm, there's a 1080p version of Mario & Nette on YouTube. The beginning shots look a bit fuzzy, but I think they must have been shot at 720p because the rest is absolutely stunning! The softness isn't noticeable at all - it looks wonderful. [/quote] There's no doubt the video looks good and better than the mk2 , there's simply more detail. BUT the footage is no way real 1080p, I would say a 720p that lets you down in fine details, typical of every non-GH2 DSLR

[quote author=Andrew Reid - EOSHD link=topic=368.msg2330#msg2330 date=1331154588] [quote author=sandro link=topic=368.msg2326#msg2326 date=1331152731] Do we have 1080p videos from the D800 yet? [/quote] Yes and they are as soft as 5D but with awful aliasing and moire. HDMI output on that camera might be a different bag. [/quote] That's what I thought...

Do we have 1080p videos from the D800 yet?

[quote author=Maxine link=topic=372.msg2316#msg2316 date=1331142072] Resolution looks even a little better on 5d II... [/quote] I think that's the sharpening of the camera

[quote author=Shawn_Lights link=topic=368.msg2317#msg2317 date=1331142493] The $4,000 - $10,000 range will be where the mid-range pro cameras will be. The C-DSLR will most likely fall between there. We want so much for such a low price. I don't think, at least not now, we will get a camera with all the features we want for under $4,000. Just doesn't make sense to me. We deal with the short comings of DSLRs because they produce great images and are cheap. However, if you want the amazing video features, expect to pay more. The 5D2 was over $2,000. I expect the C-DSLR to at least double that. The C300 and F3 is on the same level. Hopefully Canon creates the C-DSLR to be on the same level as the FS100. $5,000 is reasonable if they add the features we see in cameras like the FS100 and keep a body like a DSLR. I think Canon is going to try and put the C-DSLR in the FS100 price point. That's my guess based on wishful thinking  ::) [/quote] Then they can keep it :) What will sell more a $700-800 DSRL with a GH2 video (apparently easy to do and not pricey, the hacked GH1 is still better than the Canons!!) with same things the 600D has or an expensive $10k video camera???

Be sure that the C-DSRL will cost more than the 5dmk3. We're always screwed. Imagine if Panasonic could make a GH3 with a APS-C sensor. It will destroy everyone!

pre production camera right... like the real deal is any better.

[quote author=Andrew Reid - EOSHD link=topic=369.msg2277#msg2277 date=1331089395] It is good enough for many many great shoots to come, but it is definitely a lot softer on fine details than the GH2 is capable of. It isn't any better than 5D Mark II in terms of actual resolution. And this is a £3000 camera body. It took 3.5 years to do this?? [/quote] I'm disgusted BUT they're doing this on purpose they're not stupid!

They fixed nothing! They're protecting the C300.

is it true they can't publish 1080p on the web?:|

[quote author=Andrew Reid - EOSHD link=topic=360.msg2227#msg2227 date=1330916559] You can't judge res from a clip shot at ISO 12,800! We just don't know much about what went into this clip in terms of post processing, camera settings and compression. Vimeo clip download file size is tiny, much smaller than a raw ALL-I 90Mbit file. Various review sites have a 5D Mark III already. Once one gets one with a clue about video, then maybe we can rest easy knowing our pre-orders won't need to be cancelled! It is looking good so far though.... [/quote] I know that, it's just a feeling
