essbe got a reaction from filmmakereu in Next-gen Magic Lantern in crowdfunding
To me it seems the new build works almost flawlessly, atleast for my use. Supposedly there have been some issues in photo mode, and with AF, but I never use those things on the Eos M (I think it is one of the worst cameras for photography ever made, especially when using af). I get continuous recording in 2.8k raw (2.9 crop as the bmpcc original), 11bit 25fps, 2.39:1. In overexposed areas the timer turns orange (indicating that it can not go on forever), but when going back to normal exposure it goes back to green (continuous). If I would use 24fps I guess I could maybe go up to 12 bit. In 10bit it is always clean. Haven't tried it though, and probably won't do any extensive testing, as I have what I need now. The same settings as above are ok for continuous recording at 5.2k raw for me. Haven't tried dual ISO as I see no need for it. The preview is full screen and real time for both modes. Rolling shutter is an obvious issue in 5.2k mode (which is a 1.6 crop from full frame), a bit less so in the 2.8k raw mode. Good rolling shutter in the standard, almost fhd, raw mode, but that mode has a lot of aliasing. I would say the eos m is perfectly useable now, especially as a super-16 camera. I also really like the mlvapp. You could look at it as a cheaper alternative to the BMPCC original, but with better battery life and manual focus aids.

Forum member @essbe mentioned this in another thread, but I think it deserves it's own topic.
Magic Lantern developer theBilalFakhouri is showing compelling evidence that he has figured out how to implement full real-time preview in most raw recording modes across the EOS-M, 100D, 650D, and 700D. Live HDMI output is supported across all recording modes too. Many have found that these are the last two major usability hurdles for these cameras. He is trying to crowdfund £2,214 (about $2750 USD) for the 300 hours he's spent figuring this out before he releases it, and says that he will begin work on full real-time preview on the 5D iii after this campaign gets funded. As of this morning, he's about 2/3 of the way to his goal, but donations have slowed down significantly over the last 24 hours. If you'd like to pitch in, instructions on how to contribute are in the link above.
I haven't used either of my ML-enabled cameras in about three years, but this feels like it could be the final chapter in ML history. I would love to see it succeed and keep some of these cameras out of landfill as well as to provide the next generation of broke filmmakers with a truly affordable 16mm/S16 raw camera.

essbe got a reaction from Katrikura in Is the EOS-M *THE* Digital Super-8 Camera?
As it has not been up on the forums, I would just like to inform about some recent developments that actually could make the Eos M *THE* digital super-16 camera, as well as a much improved super-35 5.2k raw shooting camera. Just needs some financial support, which I personally think is more than justified. So, if you want an updated user experience for magic lantern on eos m, 650d, 700d and 100d, or just want to support magic lantern, have a look here: https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=26851.0

I am speechless... this is ML cinema camera series 2.0.
Yes indeed, this deserves every single donation they can raise. It is the very least decent thing we all users can do.

That's big news. I don't use my EOS-M often, but this would go a long way toward making it a lot more workable. Thanks for sharing. Donated!

Maybe too obvious, but what about the EOS M with ml in 2.5k (or 2.8k) crop? The cheapest alternative atleast.

essbe got a reaction from kidzrevil in Panasonic G85 review - is there any need to get an Olympus E-M1 Mark II for video?
As the speedbooster reduces the focal length, you should probably put the new focal length (for example 0.71x50mm, or whatever combination you have of speedbooster and lens).
