I've searched the forum but couldn't find anyone with a similar problem. I thought this would be the right topic to post it in. It ain't banding but it are Artifact issues.

I'm getting these ugly red and blue artifacts when recording MLV video on my 6D.
Resolution is set at 1536x642 but i am getting these results in other resolution as well. This image is shot with the Canon 24-105mm lens.

When i see this video the image is sooo much better then what i'm getting.

I don't have the VAF installed in my camera, could this solve all my problems and get me the same sharpness as in this video?
I can't be the card. Getting normal continous recording with the Sandisk Extreme Pro 32GB (95MB/s).

The main question is.. Is the RAW functionality  worth the 550 euro (750 us dollar) upgrade? How important is this function for your daily usage?

For photo low-light, 6D is at least 0.5 stops cleaner than 5D3, not to mention the lack of vertical banding at low ISO.

Video... not sure. If anyone wants to do a comparison, grab raw_diag and post some graphs from movie mode at different ISOs (OB, dark frame and SNR should be enough for a quick check).

I have my own small video production company (with myself as the only employee). So the camera will be used for video for about 90% of the time.

[How much value does RAW really bring? Do you guys with a 5D3 always shoot RAW video? Or sometimes consider just shooting H264?]

You can keep the 6D and get a 50D or a 7D for that price.. you can also go all out and get the 5DIII. The nicest I get stable with the 6D is the 1280x720 with a really wide lens like 11-16.

I'm not really getting the idea of having 2 bodies? 7D has a smaller sensor and not as good low light performance as the 6D. I prefer one perfect setup than having 2 setups.
I don't know how up to date this chart is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgQ2MOkAZTFHdFFIcFp1d0R5TzVPTVJXOEVyUndteGc#gid=5 but i would only consider upgrading to the 5D3. But that would cost me 550 euro (selling the 6D and buying 5D3 secondhand)... Though decicion.

Hey guys,

At the moment i'm owning a fairly new 6D. Really love the full frame capabilities and the ability to run magic lantern.
But since I've owned this camera and have run ML I discovered the real potential of RAW video. And i really like it.

The problem is i can't really decide if i would upgrade to an 5D MKIII (wich has full support for 1080p RAW) or stay with the 6D (which doesn't work really well with RAW.. Slow SD card and it's buggy)

I'm able to upgrade for 550 euro (750 US Dollar).
Would you guys consider the upgrade? Or should i stick with the 6D for ~2 or 3 years and buy a new body after some time has passed?

Appreciate every help and information

Thanks and regards, Bas
