Alpicat

That would be really something! One of my all time favorite threads since I´ve been posting and regularily reading here! Thanks guys and Alpicat, keep it going! Though the DVX super8 global shutter raw monster would have been really awesome. Would love a ccd raw camera in that formfactor and stabilized zoom lens!

The latest development with ML and the EOSM is that one can shoot raw with the full height of the sensor -- and it looks fairly clean (minimal moire/aliasing).  The resolution is 1736x1120, and I think that the pixels are binned 3x3.
 
Here's @Alpicat's test at 14-bit lossless raw:
 
Here are the instructions on how to setup the EOSM in this new crop/resolution.

@tupp very interesting videos, thanks for sharing! If it were simply possible to swap out the UHS-I SD card interface inside the EOS M for a UHS-II one, that would make higher resolution recording feasible. But I imagine the amount of coding required to make it work might make it very difficult. 
In any case I doubt you'd be able to sell and make any money from a hardware hack like this - unless you get permission from Canon!
I spoke to a Canon rep at the media production show in London recently where they were showing off their cinema EOS cameras, and he was aware of the EOS M 2.5k hack and seemed totally positive about it even saying he'd like to try it himself. I showed him the hack in operation. He also said he hoped that magic lantern would be available for the M50 one day! 

A lot of progress has been made on the EOS M in the last two days and it looks like they've been able to make the camera shoot in mv1080 mode using the full aps-c sensor (no crop) for the first time ever (as opposed to the mv720 mode that the camera was always stuck in). This means that the EOS M will now be as capable as the other digic 5 cameras.... so what I said before about anamorphic shooting changes completely - this will now be a great camera for anamorphic as it can record max 1736x1120 (3:2 aspect ratio) which I think uses the whole sensor height and width. Will do my first test soon - liveview preview isn't working fully yet though. Can't wait for the Viltrox speed booster to be released soon and shoot full frame raw video with this £100 camera!

@mercer thanks! I do need to make a short film and should watch Rear Window, can't believe I haven't seen that yet! 
Yes I'm using Juan Melara's method on resolve, at least for clips where any highlights are blown out otherwise it's not needed. It's the easiest way to get highlight rolloff to look ok - I have it all set up on resolve so it only takes a click and minor exposure / colour balance adjustments after that. 

My wife and I have been working in Wellington, New Zealand for the last two months (shooting and cutting behind the scenes for a movie) and finally got a weekend to go explore. We drove onto a ferry to the south island and made our way along its northern coast to Golden Bay. I brought my EVA1 & Gratical Eye with me. Sadly, I couldn't shoot some of the amazing hikes we went on due to heavy rain, but got some good stuff nonetheless.
Most of this is DCI 2K in 10-bit 422 All-I at 120fps. At least two clips are scaled down from DCI 4K at 23.976. Lenses were my Contax Zeiss 35mm & 85mm. Both modded with a 2x oval fixed aperture for a faux anamorphic look. Everything was composed for 2.39:1. Graded in DaVinci. Couldn’t spend as much time on it as I wanted to because of work. Might revisit when I have more time. Sweet as.

Yeah, that looks pretty good. You should make a Rear Window inspired short film. 
Are you still processing your files in Resolve using Juan Melara’s linear method?

Have tested it and it's working fully. The preview is stretched vertically 1.6x for now - as if there were an anamorphic lens attached, but other than that it's fine. I never thought they would manage to do this! 
Also, seperately, here's the most extensive test I've done so far with the new crop rec 2.5k mode (max 2520x1386) on the eos m. I recorded at 2224x1200 to get usable record times of around 10 - 20 seconds per clip. It was a very warm day so the camera got pretty hot!

Here's my first quick test with mv1080 full sensor recording on the eos m (1736x1120), no crop and continuous recording in 14 bit lossless raw. I'm happy with the image quality and moire isn't too bad. I think youtube softens the image slightly, so have uploaded at 1440p which hopefully looks a bit better:
 
@webrunner5 In crop mode at 2520x1080 or 2520x1386 the ef-m 15-45mm lens is 50-150mm full frame equivalent (3.33x crop). With a 0.71x speed booster that will be a 2.36x crop - so using an ef-s 10-18mm (modified to fit speed booster), that would result in 24-43mm full frame equivalent. The ef-m 15-45mm won't work with the speed booster.
The river thames video I shot at 2224x1200, which has a crop factor of 3.75x, so the 15-45mm lens was 56-170mm equivalent there. The crop factor changes depending the resolution selected - values can be calculated here: http://rawcalculator.bitballoon.com/calculator_desktop

I always hear comments like this, but I’ve never heard an actual story of anyone having a “it was all blank sorry” moment.  This seems like the modern equivalent of forgetting to load a card into a digital camera. You’d have to either have very serious mechanical error, severe under exposure, or be uneducated in the process, all of which are preventable... especially since the room for error with negative film is extremly high.
I recently shot a short piece on a Bolex Rex 4. The scanning prices have dropped recently and the 4k scans available now are really nice and affordable. 
ProRes LT to Vimeo has worked pretty good for me in the past. Film grain holds up really nice in my experience.
 

Your making it damn hard for me not to buy a EOS M LoL. Well done. So what does that 15-45mm end up being using ML focal length wise?

Finally!!! I already have the cheap chinese speedbooster, it's pretty bad but it will do the job for what I want.

Ahh... anamorphic... that makes sense. In reality, I’m fairly happy with my Canon lenses shooting 1080... or 820 in 2:39... so for now that should suffice. I don’t think I’m quite ready for anamorphic.
However, I do need to move to a newer build and mess around with some of the advancements. I’m still using the the messed up build from April of 2017. I never had the issues others had with it, but I still should get rid of it...
Stupid question... when I update a build, do I just load a new build onto an SD card and then run the firmware update? Or do I have to bring it back to the regular Canon firmware and then do it?
Btw, is the Iscorama a newer addition to your arsenal? And are you using a focus module or doing double focus? 
I am tempted to pick up a Sankor or something and try some anamorphic...

@mercer the MLV Lite module is nearly able to do all the things the regular raw module does (including sound recording), and it uses less processing power, so I think there's a discussion going on about getting rid of the regular raw module and making MLV Lite the standard one. There  isn't much difference between the two modules in terms of what they're like to use.
The EOS M is only worth using in crop mode, and the current resolution options means it's not great at all for anamorphic filming. The max available resolution till very recently was 2520x1080 (2.33:1 aspect ratio). At this resolution recording is continuous at 10 bit lossless, and nearly continuous at 12 bit lossless. Crop is 3.33x from full frame (which will be 2.36x crop with the upcoming speed booster).
Now it's also possible to shoot up to 2520x1384 (16:9) at 24fps. However when you increase the vertical resolution beyond 1080, the lowest bitrate setting you can select is 14 bit lossless, which limits record times to about 2 seconds only! However, as I'm sure you know with Magic Lantern you can select any resolution lower than the maximum and any aspect ratio you like, to get better record times. For example, with 2224x1200 in 14 bit lossless I currently get 10-15 seconds record time.
The exciting news is that the SD card overclock hack is being developed even further to increase the clock frequency from 160mhz up to the UHS-I maximum of 208mhz. When (and if) that happens then 80mb/s write speed should be possible on the EOS M and other digic 5 cameras (as opposed to 55mb/s write speed that the current hack allows). This should enable continuous recording at 2520x1384.

Arri has a 2.8K mode in the Alexa. 2.8K 4:3 (2944x2160) and 2K Anamorphic(2048x858)
 

The eos-m really is the camera that keeps on giving. I still have mine in the back of my closet with a Cosmicar 12-75mm permanently attached to it. I’ve been considering uploading a newer ML build on it, even just for the bitrate hack. Does the eos-m have anamorphic mode in ML? If so, I thought that could be fun to mess around with.
Right now though, I am interested in finally updating my 5D3 to a newer build and trying to get a little more resolution or higher frame rates out of it.
I think @squig shoots 2.8K with his but I don’t even know if it’s 10/12 bit or MLV Lite. I haven’t been keeping up with the ML progress in a while, but a 2.8K downscale to 2K sounds pretty perfect to me... I think another company makes cameras that are similar to that process.
But I assume there’s a crop involved, which I am not completely sure I want to get into yet... I just got used to FF FOV... but I guess with the crop, some more lens options open up.

@Alpicat looks good, I dig the music too. Have you thought about buying a 5D3?
This looks awesome. I love when I scroll down my IG page and see your ML Raw videos. 

@hmcindie nice colours and very intense! well done!
I recently sold my Canon 50D as I wasn't using it much after I bought my EOS M. Here's the last video I did with it, using a Tamron 18-200mm II lens, which isn't particularly great:
 

I decided to test some 48fps with the regular 14bit ML build. I processed it as Alexa LogC 24fps through the MLV App.
As suspected... since it’s less than HD... it’s soft, but for short close ups... it could work in a pinch.
Any updates on the slow motion capabilities with the experimental 10/12 bit modes?
