Idk, this was a pretty big story last year and I don't think we ever found out the whole truth and I would not be surprised in the least if he still lurks around here... maybe it's you Jon... lol jk, but it was a great drama for the dog days of summer.

Thanks, good to know I don't have to reformat every single time. I'm so used to doing that I just assumed it was necessary.

Even the SD card that holds the ML files? On the ML site it says to format in camera first and then transfer the ML files onto the card and then update firmware.

Ok, now that I've updated to Sierra, I have been able to format the card as ExFat and for some reason all of the glitches in the clips are gone... except for an occasional singular loud beep that appears in the audio. I remember my old eos-m occasionally did it too. Question about formatting exfat though... I read that it works best if you reformat in camera first and then reformat as ExFat in the computer... is that true? How do you use fine tuning to get an exact 180 degree shutter? The best I can get is 172 degrees at 1/50. Also, when I set FPS to exact in FPS override, it causes my liveview to stutter and not show real time preview? Nevermind... I figured it all out... having brain fart moments. For some reason since it reads "(from 24)" I thought you had to subtract from 24 to get to 23.976... duh. I vaguely remember having to do that with the 50D... but that camera was a different ML experience since it "never" had video on the released model. Anyway, I'm good now, thanks for your help.

Really effing spectacular.

Thanks! I have the camera and the low hanging sun to thank for that. Even with the hiccups, the 5D3 is the smartest camera purchase I've ever made.

Well, it only stopped recording once with the recording limit warning asking me if my card is formatted as ExFat. Can using a card not formatted as ExFat cause any other issue other than recording length? I'm using the March 30th builds. I just noticed the issues. I was planning on doing more research tomorrow, just thought it might be a common issue. The only thing I can think of is, even though I could not format the card as ExFat, I did erase the files on my computer with my previous tests... whereas with this test I reformatted in camera.

I will say I had a few issues with the files from this test. There were some black flashes in some of the video files and the audio went in and out. I am hoping it's the exfat issue. I updated my computer to Sierra and I think I may put ML on a different SD card as well. I'll also probably keep a spare SD card with the ML files on it in my camera bag, just in case something goes haywire in the field. I edited around it for the test but a lot of great clips were ruined. I also had audio go in and out and a high pitch beep appear in some of the shots as well? Has anyone else experienced any of this? Could it be a setting problem or the fact that I haven't been able to format my cards as ExFat in ElCapitan? I am so happy with the footage I've been getting that I really need to figure this out.

Are you sure it wasn't all of the times I shared every failed color test from my Samsung NX500?

Thanks but that's not 3K Raw. Just 1080p. I haven't tested the 3K Raw yet... YET! I did shoot a test for my short next week, but also on 1080p and with my new Canon 24-70mm f/4 lens. I'll send you the link in a PM because I don't want to keep bogging down this thread with regular ML Raw.

Nikon needs to source their sensors from someone other than Sony or start producing their own.

Hey Marty, here's another grab from 1080p 5D3 Raw with the Tokina 24-40mm... Sorry to the rest for the OT but I also kinda wanted to bump this thread... I need me some 4K ML Raw...

I think there's supposed to be entertainment in the mundanity of his life.

I agree, the colors are noticeably better with his older videos. I even noticed a little Jersey Shore spray tan skin tone with the GH5 video. But also I think his life looks more interesting through a Canon lens and Canon camera. It's grittier, more suited to his style. When he throws around these other cameras, like he did his 70D, he may just switch back.

He gets paid in views and links. Since a lot of his subscribers ask him about cameras, why not talk about them... more views. If the hot new camera is up for sale... why not use it once and link to it in your video. He may have moved to 4K because YouTube is pushing for more 4K content, or his subscribers are asking..: why not 4K. But as I said earlier, he has a link in this video, supposedly shot with the GH5, to every camera, drone, and support he has ever used... I don't blame him one bit, if I had his type of talent and my family ate from the YouTube and Amazon dinner menu, I'd do the same exact thing.

Honestly, Magic Lantern may have actually had a part in hindering Canon's tech development. Which in turn may have affected Nikon's development as well... if the theory is true that Nikon and Canon only use each other as metrics. Not that it really matters at this point, but it makes you wonder... if ML didn't hack the 5D to include Raw video, what the sales of their cameras would be. Obviously as I, and others, said in the D7500 thread, video is an incremental figure in their overall sales, but it still is a figure used to project sales. If their sales dropped even 5-10% from the 5D2 to the 5D3, the bean counters may have researched why the loss in sales and allocated more funds to video R&D.

Yup, I did it last week. Simple. You get a link to the older firmware from the Magic Lantern site and then just use EOS Utility to search for the file on your computer.

Here's another D500 video. The D7500 4K video should be similar.

He is smart though... might as well use the newest, most in demand cameras and link to them in your vlogs... KA CHING... shit he's linking to cameras he didn't even use in that video... cover all the effin bases...

In the description, Neistat links to 5 or 6 different cameras... only one of which was the GH5... The video looks pretty okay though.

Always loved that video. Probably my favorite XC10 video.

The crop is the same as the GH4 with native lenses and less than the NX500. Most audiences rarely say after watching a movie... man I wish the crop factor was smaller. With faster lenses like the Tokina 14-20mm f2, you are basically at 28-40mm. The 1080p looks great... I'd agree $1000 would be a better price point and when it gets below that, I'll probably buy it.

I predict this will be a huge success for Nikon. The photo features are great... and I'm unsure how many times people on this forum needs to be reminded that we are the minority customers of these cameras. And spec vs spec, sure the NX1 and NX500 wins, but why is it I still prefer the Nikon image to the Samsung? I mean, minus AF points, for $750 less, you're getting a mini D500, which was reviewed as the best camera of 2016.

Definitely good news. I had a Pentax SLR years ago and although I only used it for snapshots, I loved the utilitarian design of it. I also owned a Q7 for a while and that little camera was a blast to go out and shoot with some old D-Mount lenses. It even had peaking. But it also has the worst rolling shutter I've ever seen. With Ricoh's background with Super 8, I've always hoped they would get more involved with video.

I think an XC20 with an EF-M mount would be a killer of a cam. I would also love for some of these Mark IV rumors to be true and implemented into the XC20. It already has great 1080p, but some nice 3K recorded to SD cards or CF cards would be a warm welcome as well.
