has anyone successfully shot 60p at any resolution on the 7d yet?

or wait a minute...is there any issue with connecting UDMA7 cards to firewire800 readers?

looks to be a pain if i need to figure out a way to get USB 3.0 to my mac. even if it's backwards compatible with USB 2.0, those transfer speeds are gonna be crawling so that route is no good.

thanks for the info. did they tell you why connecting UDMA7 cards to USB 2.0 causes damage?

Hey Ted,

I'm shooting primarily on a 5D II (and waiting for the 7D ML to mature). I might be looking to upgrade to the 5D III soon so I can have 60p capability with raw.

Would you suggest Komputerbay 64GB 1000x cards as the universal best choice? Right now I'm shooting raw with Sandisk 32GB 600x cards so I'm still compromising with ratios/resolution. And I work on Macs which don't have USB 3 so I'm still using a Sandisk Extreme CF reader with Firewire800.

Just to be on the safe side, can you also suggest a compatible card reader so I don't blow my cards with incompatible firmware?

can anybody confirm if the transcend 1000x cards play well with continuous raw? 32/64/128GB?

the komputerbay cards seem to be hit or miss and lexar seems to think it's selling diamonds...

[I just realized however that x5 CROP MODE records as 29.97 instead of 23.976. Is there currently a setting that allows me to shoot in crop mode 23.976?]

Been running some tests at 1880x1058 (actual resolution, at least in OSX FINDER: 1876x1054), extracted cDNG via RawMagic and transcoded and uprezzed to 1920x1080 through Resolve Lite.

Crop mode is great by the way. Need to make sure it's extra stable but that additional reach and acquired detail is awesome.

I'm using Sandisk 32GB 90MB/s CF cards by the way, although it's labeled UDMA 7 and can average about 10secs per clip but for now that length is fine for testing. I can only get continuous recording at 2.50:1 aspect at 1880 wide.

YOu can use the google cache if you need it.

worked like a charm. thanks!

what happened to the tutorial URL?

hey guys, trying to run my own tests but the link on the front page seems to be broken.

can anybody share instructions on how to get it up and working? thanks
