Is it possible change Picture Style for every second frame (as HDR video)?

In post processing:
light and dark picture styles could be converted to file with 14bit depth.

I'm not too sure where but I've seen a post on Magic Lantern explaining how they do almost exactly what you describe. You can also see some sample of their pseudo-HDR. Some stuff can look quite decent.

I'm gonna give you my 2 cents even though I haven't used either of these cameras.

The point here is to have a camera that is good enough to learn and for it to last long enough until you can afford better. i.e. When you're done studying.

I would go for the one that allows you to run ML, simply because it will bring a set of features to your DSLR that you would not be able to get otherwise.

I am the proud owner of 2x 5DmkII - but have no illusions, these were not originally thought out for video specifically.

X10 didn't work for me. But I tried the latest build tonight and I have no issue with it now. I can shoot 720p Raw with my 5D MKII in normal mode, as well as x5 AND x10 zoom.

As for HDR, I'd search on the forum. I saw a few interesting explanations on there.

I think you are talking about using the x5 zoom (although I saw a post and a video explaining how you can also use a x3 zoom) which in essence is pretty simple: press the zoom button once (to zoom x5) and press record (in raw mode of course).

It's a little hard to frame your shot but the result is pretty impressive.

Hiya,

Not too sure what difference there is between shooting raw or not in terms of having a good exposure with ML. But there are basic principals you can follow:

1/ expose for your subject: meaning don't loose sight of what really matters in your shot.
2/ look at the histogram: it tells you if your whole scene within the camera's dynamic range or not. If it doesn't fit, you then need to make a choice between clipping the blacks or the highlights.
3/ turn on the clipping features: it'll overlay what's over/underexposed while shooting.

Last thing, when shooting raw you can easily review your exposure after the fact. That's the whole point of shooting raw.
