Yeah a feature. Just working on the website now. I know of a couple of features shot with the MK3 raw, and I'm sure there's others I don't know about. The workflow is almost the same, you just have to run an app called MLVFS which basically does a real-time MLV to CDNG emulation, it doesn't actually convert the file but Resolve and Premiere see it as a CDNG. It's pretty cool, and now cross platform.

Correct. Well a 28mm on an S35 camera is the equivalent of 42mm full frame. The 35mm is the lens I use the most on the 5D.

I could shoot a feature with a 24, a 35, and a 90 but I've accumulated a set ranging from 16 to 300. German film Victoria was all shot with a 25 (37mm full frame equivalent). If you're after a more vintage look the Digital Bolex may be the best way to go. 2.5K raw.

The 5D MK2 doesn't do full HD, slightly less. If you really want to you can record good quality sound on a 5D MK2/MK3 with a juicedlink pre-amp, but it's more professional to record dual system sound with a boom. I don't use EF lenses, I use 60s/70s era Leica-r lenses and Iscorama anamorphic adapters. If you want a filmic Bergman like quality best to go with vintage glass.

You don't "need" 4K. Most cinemas project 2K and you can uprez HD to 4K for Netflix etc.. I'm shooting my film with the 5D MK3 raw HD and I'm going to be sending it to major festivals for consideration. Dynamic range, color science, and lighting are a lot more important than more than HD resolution. The Alexa's been used on tonnes of films and it's 2.5k. You're better of using the money you'd spend on a Red to buy better sound gear and lighting, and better food for your actors.

Magic Lantern doesn't work on those cameras. 2K is only a very slight uprez from HD and won't cause any image degradation. Plenty of films have been shot in HD uprez'd to 2k.

Magic Lantern does 2.39:1 but only HD. The 1dx MKII or 1dc would be closest look wise but only they're only 8bit. The Blackmagic Pocket and Micro come close but the image isn't as magical as the 5D raw. 4K is a big wank to try to convince consumers to buy more shit. I'm happy with the HD resolution from these cameras, I'm much more interested in extended dynamic range than I am in 4K.

Lulz! When I posted the first vid of Magic Lantern raw (it could only record 2 seconds at that point) the "cynical assholes" said it would never work. A few days later I posted a 1 minute ML raw vid. Soon after that ML cracked the 4Gb file size limit. To this day some cynical assholes are still saying it doesn't work (unreliable). Bullshit! I've never been a Red fanboy. I had access to a Red One at film school, but I shot everything with my 5D MK2, and I've been filming with DSLRs ever since. The BMMCC is my first 'digital cinema camera'. The 5D MK3 with Magic Lantern is still the camera I film with, it's quite erm magical . A friend offered to shoot my film with his Dragon but I said no thanks. The whole Red attitude thing turned me off them. Working with a small dedicated crew of hackers who are way ahead of the game is more my style.

Yeah, it was a weird one, didn't appear to affect everybody's 5D's. a1ex didn't have a problem with his. He probably thought we were on acid

Good news. a1ex from Magic Lantern has squashed the 60p/50p pink frames bug http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5473.new#new The new 3x3 720p crop mode produces great quality aliasing free 2K 2.39:1 anamorphic slo-mo footage. I'm shooting with a 1.5x Iscorama and a 35mm Leica-r which equates to a FOV of around 45mm. Thx. It affected any aspect ratio @ 60p. All fixed now!

Who said anything about AWB? Always Kelvin.

I concur. And yeah the A7s white balance in video mode is shithouse. Anything but 5600k usually turns to shit. I use it in place of the 5D for photography, not because it takes better photos, but because its more compact and I like the EVF.

I've never denoised any of my films. Sometimes I add some grain to mask it.

I reckon it'll look something like this with an e-mount for Sony's new GM lenses. Like a compact D5/1dxII with a price to match.

XQD can write 400MB/s+ fast enough for 4K raw. I'd be happy with 2K, <15ms rolling shutter, and 13+ (no bullshit) stops of DR, and some decent color science! But yeah it'll probably be overpriced and underspec'd as usual. I expect I'll be shooting with the 5D for at least another year.

Remember that "make believe" 1Dc shaped DSLR shell Sony showed at NAB 3 years ago? http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/sr5-bomb-rumor-first-a9-specs-dual-xqd-card-slot-unlimited-raw-burst/ The day Magic Lantern made 2 second burst raw video possible on the 5D I figured it was only a matter of time before DSLRs shot continuous 24p raw. A few days later it became a reality. It makes a lot of sense for Sony to go raw considering the profit margin on XQD media. I really dig the raw stills from the A7s, the video not so much; the 5D with Magic Lantern is so much better. Bring on NAB!

Testing in shit light is a good idea. There's always those times when you have to shoot someone running down a dark alley at night naked chasing someone with a knife (without a permit). In that situation fixed pattern noise is going to be a real concern.

There's low light, and then there's shit light. It's okay in low light, but not as good as the 5D MK3 raw.

Compared to the 5D MK3 the BMMCC FPN is practically non-existent (if you expose correctly). It is a noisier camera than the 5D raw overall, but the noise looks more filmic.

If you can't handle a bit of fixed pattern noise, maybe digital filmmaking is not for you.

If I couldn't scrape up a couple of hundred dollars for a raid, I'd definitely go with the C100 for the extra DR, resolution, low light ability, and rolling shutter.

I don't really get the not an option thing. Hard drives are really cheap these days. I set up a 12 terabyte raid (big enough for a 35 day feature shoot) on my mac pro for $1000.

Best to expose to the right with the 5D unless you like fixed pattern noise. I overexpose quite a bit and recover the highlights in post (raw). Are you talking about h.264 or raw? Huge difference.

Yeah 1080p is fine. If the 5D freezes (happens occasionally) just pull the battery. I've spent 2 days trying to nail the pink frame bug to no avail. Use the Aug 2014 build if you wanna do slo-mo. I shoot slo-mo with a 1.5x Iscorama to get 2K 2.39:1.

There's a longstanding pink frame bug with 720p 60p recording http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5473.msg165309#msg165309
