How can I access the zoom mode on the 50D? Is this part of the May 28th build? Thanks!

My komputerbay 1000x 64GB card is getting consistant 57 MB/s (no max-out) which is great for 1592 x 896, but it does worry me that it won't be enough for 1920 x 1080 if / when that happens.

Does anyone know how I can get all these things in one Magic Lantern build for the 50D:

1. Anamorphic Preview,
2. the 3x zoom, and;
3. Raw recording.

Is it even possible? THANKS!

Yes. The 128GB cards are slower. You should have gotten 2 64GB 1000x . . . Send it back for refund or exchange maybe?

Indeed - thanks. Just saw this post as well - http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5391.msg34356#msg34356 - I'll return the 128 and go for the 64s.

I've been having a great time with a KomputerBay 32GB 1000x CF card - being able to shoot continuously at max resolution. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for my new KomputerBay 1000x 128GB card. It typically stops recording around 250 frames every time. Seems to max out at 48 MB/s where as my 32GB card runs smoothly at around 57 MB/s. - Are the 128GB cards known to be bad? Or could it be that I'm doing something wrong?

Beautiful images.. What was you workflow?  Did you shoot @ 24FPS exact?

My workflow was the following:

1. raw2dng
2. Import .dng into After Effects, correct white balance.
2a. Adjust the aspect ratio to 66% because I shot with anamorphic lens
2b. Made some color corrections using the basic color corrector inside AE
3. Export to Pro Res 422 at 1280 x 720 and upload to Vimeo. (didn't bother with 1080 for this)

I used 23.98  FPS override in the 50D.

The above is very straight forward (and I love AE's Raw processor cos its just like Lightroom). I intend on shooting more when I get my 128GB CF card (and, er, with a tripod), and I want to master the online / offline workflow using Pro Res 4444 1080 as my master files, then edit in 422 in FCP then reconform to 4444, color and export. That looks like the best workflow to me. Although, not sure if I need 4444 or 422 just yet. Maybe it's not worth the extra work.

My first shot with 50D Raw.

I'm very excited to try raw recording on my newly acquired 50D. If I crack it, I'll post video and DNGs for sure.

I'm a little confused as to the state of things and what I can expect. How long will I be able to record raw on the 50D for? Assuming a fast card and the maximum allowable resolution / frame rate. What can i expect?

Please forgive the question but its not obvious to me from reading the forum.
