I assume this is sold?

I am really enjoying this camera. Here's a test video I made. Sorry it's so short.
One of the better bits of GH4 footage I've seen. Well done.

The mysterious 5D Mark III hardware hack is a load of bullshit.
In the the last decade just about the only hardware hack which was viable was to tap uncompressed video off the DVX100.
Completely replacing the main board in a DSLR with a non-Canon part isn't feasible. Just to get everything working as a stills camera would require so much inside knowledge of Canon's proprietary systems and Canon would definitely sue them out of existence if they tried.
Chalk that one up to bored Canon users dreaming of meaningful upgrades!
Alright- That's helpful to hear. I've been debating hard about selling my 5D3 and getting the GH4 once the EF Speedbooster arrives. This hardware hack rumor has been getting in my head, though.
Of course, keeping both is an attractive option, too. I'm looking forward to shooting with the GH4 in a couple weeks and trying out some filtration to see what effect I can get with close ups on actors. I love the sharpness, but am worried about too much detail on close ups.
GH4 seems like one of the best nature-shooting cams I've seen. I'm about to start a project that's all nature footage and I can't imagine a better cam. 5D3 for timelapse of stars, GH4 for giant redwood and ocean vistas... Mmmmm....

"Something is going to change big-time soon but I can’t spill the beans until June 3rd, however you have to know now for the sake of the review being comprehensive that sensor size and inability to get the most out of your EF lenses will not always be an issue…"
"Not signed an NDA but the company are friends and I'm going to shut up until they're ready.
I have been testing the X today and all I can say is.... WOW!!"I too am assuming this is a speedbooster... maybe a Sigma one. I just hope they have all varieties, including one that takes Leica R.
My two guesses about June 3rd are:
1) Speedbooster allowing EF lenses. This seems realistic, but I do have one other thing I want to hear about...
2) The mysterious 5D Mark III Hardware Hack that was rumored a while back. This is almost certainly not the case, but a fella can dream!

It made Engadget. Well done Florian :)

How much interest is there in 7D raw video coverage on EOSHD? It is quite an old camera now (over 4 years), still a lot of users around?
I would love to see solid coverage of this. I am a working DP and have been shooting mostly with the Epic over the last couple of years, but I own a 7D and having a RAW output on a Super-35 sensor seems tremendously exciting to me. The Mark III is obviously the king of the Magic Lantern hacks, but having a sensor this size makes me excited for handheld dialogue work (pulling focus on moving actors with full frame is a nightmare).
That's my 2 cents.

Anyone have thoughts on the KineRAW Mini + E-Mount + Speed Booster? The KineMOUNT adaptable proprietary mount is supposed to get an E-mount adapter eventually (according to their FAQ which is currently only in Chinese).
So that means we'll have full-frame, 12-bit RAW 2k for probably $5-6k for a fully functional kit.
KineRAW Mini details:

This is the combo I'm salivating for. There isn't enough Kineraw footage out there for me to have strong feelings and the stuff that is out there always seems to have a strong green cast on it. That being said, this camera (like the Black Magic) is threatening to really change some things.
