Man, you helped me understand a lot here. You got me sold! Now just to gather my savings, sell my nikon gear and get 6d with lenses. Just wondering, last thing i guess, about audio recording. Will i need some external recorder or 6d can record audio along a lossless videos in crop_rec_4k? Including the 60mb/s card option on and live view preview at that point.

Btw, this topic turned mostly on 6d, unlike my title says
Tho it is due the fact that along the way i found out a ton of info on 5d3, and you explaining things here helped me understand good part on 5d3 also.

So if i would install crop_rec_4k module with 60mb/s one, I would get:

Continuous 1824 x 1026 at 25 fps in 14 bit lossless safe to use, but on full sensor with line skipping and normal live view preview?
Continuous 1824 x 1216 at 25 fps in 14 bit lossless possible, but to be safe could use 12bit. Still full sensor with line skipping and normal live view preview?
Continuous 2688 x 958 at 25 fps in 12 bit lossless, but to be safe could use 10bit? At that point it uses part of the sensor, but without line skipping, and live view may be problematic?
Continuous higher fps rate with 1824x634 withnormal lineskipping, or 5pixel skipping with full normal resolutions?

-

On the other hand, in normal, nightly build i may use those resolutions and options only in 14 bit, without lowering it, and therefor no continuous for some options?

Also, if i understood right, in all modes/builds/modules, bit options lower than 14bit may be problematic, so to be safest possible should always use 14bit?

In the end, i would certainly need 60mb/s module if i were to use any continuous with mentioned resolutions? On original 40mb/s 10 bit might be possible, but 10bit may be problematic to use?

For me, the most usable RAW mode in 5d3 is - Full HD with realtime full colored LiveView + Proxy to have an opportunity to playback footage in camera.
50-60 fps modes are ok, but laggy LiveView is very limiting it's usage.

that kinda thing is what really would satisfy me and my workflow. I dont need many pixels. just good fhd is enough to me. Just so far it is pretty safe, practical, problemfree and somewhat easy to use once it is set up and practiced a bit. Something nice on 6d would be nice even if wide resolution would be around 1700-1800 px.

Thank you all for your attention and help.

I know that 5d3 is a better option for all this, but that camera here in Serbia costs almost double than 6d It reaches the limit of my budget and with buying it i would probably endup only with some basic $100 lens such are 50mm or 40mm or some older usm zoom with variable aperture.  But going for 6d i could get 40mm and 105mm lenses (one of my favorite focal lenghts) and maybe even some other or atleast be half way to it. Or even invest in better cards, since atm i currently only have 1 sandisk 64gb extreme pro (sdxc v30 u3 10class 95mb/s). Later on, i should be able to get some more money, sell 6d and buy 5d3, or if im satisfied with 6d get some more lenses.

On a personal level, 1824 x 1026 and 1824 x 1216 resolutions with full 6d sensor in 25p and 14,12 and 10 bit sounds really nice. Also 2688 x 958 could be good for me since from time to time i do some experimental film work with one friend of mine, and "crazy" aspect ratios are good in that realm of videography

** So if i understood it right and question section:

1824 x 1026, 1824 x 1216 work with full sensor, but has line skipping while 2688 x 958 and other crop mode resolutions dont?

On normal 40mb/s buffer, 1824 x 1026, 1824 x 1216 and 2688 x 958 resolutions in continuous 25p video work only in 10 and maybe 12 bit? But if i install that 60mb/s module i may get them to do 14 bit?

Mentioned resolutions of 2480 x 1396 and 2880 x 1200 in continuous 25p work only in 60mb/s module and 14bit? But they cant be used in lower bit rates (12/10) and they have a crop/zoom ratio? How big is the crop ratio?

Among all these, what do you think its the best and safest option to work with in 25p? That 1824 x 1026 it 10bit sounds safest and promising, but 14bit with it sure is tempting just as 2480 x 1396 and 2880 x 1200 is.  What about live view when recording all these, any problem there? File breaking, camera heating up and turning off or even frying something?

Any options for frame rate faster than 25?


Many of this things already got me sold for 6d, cause i really wouldnt like to go on 6d and be without lenses.

By now i have found some info online and the one that most worked for me is:

https://www.eoshd.com/2017/06/magic-lantern-raw-video-current-camera-capabilities-updated-2017/

But thats 2017. and i have not found much never info. So is this legit and were there any upgrades to this by now?

Again. My main concert is 6d and 5dm3 and magic lantern raw continuous video options in them.
I would like to see options with full sensor, but im okay with croping also.

Hi guys. Im new here on this forum. I know a bit and follow magic lantern for 2 years now i think, but i never went much into details. Im a video editor that likes to shoot videos and stills. Since i use nikon d3300 and have not much invested in nikon gear i decided to go for upgrade on canon full frame and 6D or 5D mark 3. Sony is my option also, cuz i want a good video, but i love and respect canon lenses much much much more and have remembered that ML might have something nice instead of going to shitty hellfire sony.

Soo basically, i am here to ask you guys for more defined specs and options. Because i have been here for 3-4 hours now looking at cameras and ml options. I have seen some 4k mentions, i have seen some 3.5/3.2k, i have seen some 2k, i have seen some 18xx wide resolutions. I have seen that some have sensor crop on ml raw video, i have seen that some options have limitations, while other are continuous...

So can i please get someone to sumarise a bit for me or give me some useful guidlines for it?

I just need 10-12 bit raw video for 25fps ( eu pal ) for some decent resolution with continuous recording. I also wonder how much memory would specific options eat, so that i prepare sd and cf cards?

From what i understood is that 6d has limited buffer and therefor cant record-write more than 40mbps. Thats good, and bad if u ask me. i dont want a huge file sizes, but i do wonder what i could get on that at 25fps?
For 5d i understood that it has 25fps full hd continuous, but im not sure if it is with cropped sensor or not? What about the higher resolutions taht are mentioned for it, like 3.5k and similar?

Thank you for your attention, Aleksandar
