H**l yes!! First and foremost, I assume we're all photogs, so who doesn't want to see vacation pics out of the 70D??? Should be mandatory when people here go on vacation. And not just the standard stuff either, these bodies are capable of brilliance. We can at least live up to that, right? 

Sadly, it's too heavy. My 70D is like car's equipment now. It stays within a car and doesn't go anywhere(well, it did once in this vacation, and it went back to the bag within 10 minutes due to its weight/my effort). So I decided and took shots with the S5 since the quality is quite OK for life logging and it goes underwater. I only use DSLR when needed...lately...

And yes, the 70D body itself is great. I barely have use manual focus in video. It's worth an upgrade from my previous 60D.

Excuse my shooting and editing. I have no idea about color correcting. haha (The video is in Thai)

This camera is already something without ML. With ML, it would be something greater. Many ML features in 60D and EOS M had helped me in many situations. I just wish EOS M II had the same sensor as 70D's or at least the same liveview auto-focus capability. So I can always bring one plus 22mm f/2 with myself for any vacation.

And if you help with coding, it will come quicker

My post was about how to run the code in the emulator, without risking your camera. So if you know (or you are willing to learn) some C and ARM assembler, it's fairly easy to get started.

I'm running servers and I can compile some stuffs for kinds of service, but I have no idea about coding since I've been letting ones who can do the better job doing that for me. I only know some basics of getting things to work together. This would be a great start for me.

What do I need?

And I'm going to be on vacation for a week (plus photos if you want.(j/k))

nanomad seems to be busy

Let's wait patiently for the big news

Hi everybody, another 70D user here

Is there any clue on what is the max bitrate or transfer speed for the 70D already? As this is the most important spec to consider the RAW capabilities of the camera. I saw this on a website, It's sayin it can do 91mb/seg or am I wrong?

"(...) New ALL-I codec records at: 91 mb/sec bitrate for best video quality."

URL: http://www.smartreview.com/canon-eos-70d-dual-pixel-af-dslr-camera (under features)

8bits = 1Byte

Let's do the math.

91/8 = 11.375

That's only 11MB/s... my brother...



And yes, I'm curious as well. But I bet that the 70D storage interface write speed is not that great, shouldn't be better than 6D. I'll be surprised if it's any better... as I hope for that too...

Just 1080p RAW video for 20-40 seconds is more than enough for me for a camera at this price w/ Magic Lantern capabilities. That would make sick stock videos... except moire & alias thanks to Canon.

Giovanni is back and started coding......   

He's back!

Any progress log or blog that I can follow? Just curious... 

This thing is getting groovy!

Holycow! dude!

Holycow!

There's something going on here! ha!

Magic Lantern is what keeping me to Canon..... 70D + ML will be something beyond imagination!

The more I'm using the 70, the more I like, but damn..., got used to a few things that ML had for the T4i that are lacking here..

One is intervalometer function. Totally didn't think about that and went to do some time-lapse in the snow and cold... Duh. Haven't had an actual intervalometer for years now. Had it in ML for the T3, then T4i (alpha build, but even the pre-alpha I installed in the T4i worked perfect for me).

So..., damn..., do I miss ML now that I "upgraded" to the 70D...

I'm not sure if there's one or not. But I saw a guy at my local camera store. He used 5D II with a Chinese battery grip from eBay that has intervalometer with LCD screen + buttons just for $30~40. I'm finding one for my 70D right now, as ML isn't available for this beauty, the 70D.

But I'm not so sure that it can hold up to such weather... I think it will do just fine for me in where I'm living.

Do we have to wait for the next firmware for memory backup?

I have a 70D in my hands right now. Please do tell if anything is needed. I, as an enthusiast, not a developer, will be more than pleased to help.

I think the new image sensor will make it hard for normally functional RAW Video recording. Take EOS M as an example.

Maybe it's not... since they use the pixel diodes for phase detection.

I'm ready to chip-in.

Cute little boy

I would never have expected to see such a thing in any development forum. This is a good example.

Farewell, Gary.


I bow to all the devs and the community that let me have ML-enabled EOS M for daily use.

More options would never hurt me. I'm thankful to know ML does exist.

@Dark-Master: don't think that there will be usable non crop raw video on the eos m. the method canon scales the image down (by just skipping lines and rows, instead of interpolation) combined with the reduced vertical resolution from the sqeeze factor leads to miserable quality. but i don't know, maybe 1% can tell you if there is any hope.
i also had problems with the extreme cropfactor in crop mode first, but you can get used to it. especially with the new 11-22mm lense or a speedbooster (as soon as one for eos m is available) it should be possible to get wide enough angle of view for most situations. since it's cropped from the center and wide angle lenses are mainly distorted at the edges there shouldn't be much barrel distortion or stuff like that with wide angle lenses. have tested it with sigma 10-20mm, but don't use it much, since it doesn't has IS.

I see. Thank you very much.

ML is still freakin' awesome for EOS M, thanks to you guys.

you'll find the crop mode option in the ml movie menu "Movie crop mode". what sucks is that you'll get an additional crop factor of  ~3 (it's a 100% crop on the sensor), therefore you'll get with 18mm a slightly narrower view than with 55mm. so you can't do wide angle shots with that option. but without that option the raw videos do have a imho useless quality. with that option enabled the quality is quite nice.
i'll create the dot removal data for non crop mode, but i don't think that anyone wants to use it.

Thank you very much. I'll try that now.

Is there any possibility that we'll be able to shoot in non cop mode in usable quality?

Since my 60D only has buffer transfer limit @~20MB/s. I really hope my EOS M would do the better job since it has much bigger buffer. Just saying.

@Dark-Master:
please read the post just above your last post.

Sorry, I missed the post.

I used 1472x500.
Is what you mean by crop mode the big white rectangle? I always record with white rectangle on.

Thank you.

I had the same experience. Googled and found the 2013-07-15 version of PDR but does not seem to work. It goes through the routine pretty smoothly but does not seem to remove the dots.

Same here.

The application seems to be working fine. And it did converted all my files. But the dots are still there. 

Is there any solution to get rid of the dots in RAW video yet?

I tried "PinkDotRemover_2013_07_15.zip" with the DNGs. But it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure if I did something wrong.

So what does that mean?

I did not set the card up properly. So ML didn't boot and the camera needed to be flashed every time I want to use ML.

Then I tried again from scratch and then I found out that I didn't set my sdcard up properly.

My camera has been boot flagged since Alpla 1.

1%

I figured out why my M behaved like that. I forgot to check EOS_DEVELOP in EOSCard.

Shame on me haha.

Any solution to get rid of the dots in RAW video yet?

my cam timed out while writing here. I woke it and ML was gone. Turned it off, then on and ML was gone. I reinstalled the update firmware and it worked. I shut the cam off and then on and ML is gone again?? I have now installed it three times.

gary

Seems like we are in the same boat...

I'm exciting!

~35MB/s FOR THE WIN!

My 60D actually flushes the buffer @ ~20MB/s.
