The DNC are not "the left". The DNC are neo-liberals. The left for the most part backed Bernie. The DNC screwed Bernie like they screwed Henry Wallace because he actually stood for the people. Trump's only in it for Trump, just like he has been his whole life. America got punk'd.

A Trump editorial written by a mate of mine from Brooklyn http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/11/16/not-our-president/ Remember what happened when the dude played with the cube in Hellraiser?

Don't they teach history in Austria? Trump has the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, the FBI, the NSA, the CIA, the KKK, Homeland Security, every militarized police force in the country, and the most powerful war machine ever known to man at his disposal. The only thing that MIGHT stop him from doing whatever the hell he wants is mass civil disobedience.

I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a red hat.

Breaking everything down to left and right only benefits the 1%. Look at this election, the far left are at war with the centre left almost as much as each are at war with the right. Only 25% of eligible voters voted for Trump, and a few hundred thousand more voted for Clinton. Neither candidate has anything genuine to offer the people and they're both dangerous. It's government by the corporations for the corporations. Trump pretends he's the messiah for the working class but it's all bullshit. The millennials are pissed, they reject Trump's legitamacy. We're in unchartered territory, anything could happen. The republic could break up, who knows. Oh right camera tech. Spy cameras in every womens toilet and change room I would imagine.

10/12bit appears to be working reliably on a bunch of cameras now including the 5D MK3. It can do 10bit 50p 1080p continuous. 60p1080p looks like it should be doable with a 2.39:1 crop. It's recording up to 3k 10bit 24p continuous too. 1920x648 (16:9 after stretch) 60 fps -14 bit 308 frames - 10bit 1425 frames 1920x648 50fps seems to be continous in 10 bit.

Yeah but it's still not 4k, and it's a crop.

Raw video comes from liveview, that's why it's only 1080p video on the 5D MKIII and not a full 4k sensor dump. I imagine it will be the same deal with the MKIV.

It's all bullshit.

I've got 2 Lexar 1066x and 2 Toshiba 1066x, they're both very fast, the Lexars were cheaper though. Speed is probably a bigger concern than reliability, any card can screw up, but if you buy a slow card you're already screwed. Sandisk made good cards too. Some card speed benchmarks here- http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=12630.0

I've got 4 64Gb cards. I didn't go for 128Gb cards because I didn't want to risk losing half a day of film, but I haven't lost any data to date so I'm going to get a 128Gb Lexar 1066 card. If I remember correctly the 256Gb cards are a bit slower. There's a CF card speed thread on the ML site you should have a look at. Whatever you get make sure it's not a fake.

Start with updating to the latest nightly. Check which Canon firmware version you're running 1.1.3 or 1.2.3, download the appropriate nightly, reformat the card, and copy the ML files to the card. That's it. If it still freaks out it's most likely the card. You can try recording a slightly smaller frame size to see if it's just a write speed issue (sounds like the buffer's getting full). I mostly record a 2.35:1 ratio for 2.39:1 output. I had an issue with some rogue lines at the edge of the frame, so I shoot 2.35:1 and crop to 2.39:1.

Have you tested both together? I did a bunch of raw tests with both cameras together shooting high contrast daylight, night street scenes, low key light, etc... The 5D came out on top in every single DR test. At 800 ISO the BMMCC is noisier. The 5D has better highlight recovery and smoother roll-off. 5D color is richer, more accurate, and the skin tones are unmatched. Two scenes I shot were very telling re dynamic range: In the night street scene I couldn't keep the BMMCC shadow noise down to an acceptable level without blowing the headlights and street lights. The 5D nailed the shot. The other telling shot was a sunny sky with a few clouds and a timber fence in the shadow of a tree. Again the BMMCC had narrower usable DR than the 5D. These were challenging tests, under more controlled lighting conditions the differences would be less noticeable of course. I really wanted to love the BMMCC, but the 5D beat it in all but the rolling shutter test.

I've never had a problem with 1920x1080 24p continuous. Firmware 1.1.3 is a little faster than 1.2.3.

Transcend cards are slow. The Lexar 1066x is the fastest. The 5D has more detail, more DR, better color, and less noise than the BMMCC/Pocket.

From the mouth of the guy who developed MLV: raw is more stable, but in practice I've found there's no identifiable difference bar the minimal processor hogging. I've done a lot of AE/ACR vs Resolve tests and it's true that ACR has a better debayer, BUT, in a recent extreme low light test the Resolve ProRes4444 files looked better. In that particular test the AE files exported to 16bit DPX looked better than the ProRes files, but still not as good as the Resolve files, go figure. The 40mm is known for vignetting, I like a bit of vignetting, it's more noticeable wide open, I"m generally shooting at around f/5.6 on the 5D. Vertical stripes only appear on some 5Ds. I've never had them appear on mine neither has a1ex. I heard it may be something to do with calibration out of the factory. You can set ML to not tell you when it's dropping frames so make sure that option is off and you set it to exact fps.

ML user guide: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=11269.0 If you're shooting still life try DUAL ISO mode, it's dope.

raw doesn't have audio and is a little less processor intensive than MLV without audio. In Resolve select BMD flim for grading (not REC709) to get the most latitude and switch on highlight recovery. You have full raw controls in Resolve like in ACR except no denoise in Resolve lite. You'll want to set the sharpness slider to around 20, the default is 25 in ACR. If you want to do really quick filmic grades get filmconvert, it's a great starting point and it has ML presets for Resolve. I find LUTs very tedious and annoying, I've got too many of them, it's like when I got a reverb unit with 200 presets, drove me nuts. Better to just start with a film profile, then build on it. Yeah don't pm 'cause then all these poor slobs miss out on my infinite wisdom The 40mm pancake lens is pretty good, I've got one too. I'm a vintage glass freak, no love for L glass, but the 40mm looks kinda oldschool; it's gonna be my DPAF gimbal lens when the Mark IV does raw.

If your mac is up to it you can play/edit/grade the raw files realtime in Resolve with MLVFS. http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=13152.0 If your mac isn't up to it you can still use MLVFS and transcode to ProRes (preferably 4444) in After Effects, or make proxys and edit in FCPX. You can't use the sliders on the first screen in ACR, they cause flickering, but you can use the sliders on the second ACR screen (curves) instead to adjust shadows and highlights. 14bit raw is awesome but a lot of people don't seem to know how to get the most out of it. I'm still experimenting with different workflows myself. MLVFS > Resolve is the easiest but I still like cutting in FCPX. Expose to the right to keep the noise down, you can recover the highlights in post. Use the histogram with ETTR hint and experiment to find the sweet spot. Set FPS to exact. Use the latest build, there's a lot of builds with a pink frame bug which was recently fixed. Just gimme a yell if you get stuck, there's a lot to absorb because ML is so customized, but once you get your head around it it's really easy to use. Once you get your config how you want it it's saved to the card. Backup the ML files to your mac so you can easily reload them when you reformat cards. Most of the ML crew are really friendly but there's one fascist there that made me lose interest in being a mod. They do tend to hassle people for asking questions before doing a search, but are helpful if you can't find something. I don't use any of the photographic features but I can help with any video stuff.

I shoulda listened to my dad and become a proctologist.

Samuel's test methodology is sound. But you're welcome to send him your own tests for analysis.

Maybe Magic Lantern can help them with that

It's in the specs so it must be so http://www.getolympus.com/digitalcameras/omd/e-m1-mark-ii.html?ref=CJ#specs

Snobs.
