Yes 

69 frames in normal
59 frames in crop x5

For who don't understand: Go to the first tab in canon menu and put the quality for your picture in the lowest jpeg (s) and without the raw. With this you can record more frames with your silent burst picture.

Thank you flofifull and Aaron A

Also with the cropmark of petejohnst its a lot more easy to frame in 2.5k, thanks.

Yes! This was the info I was looking for! Thank You all! I had it on L and Raw, thats why I was only getting 13 frames. Wow, switching to SJPG (still takes RAW shots to card) gives me 69 frames now!

you can still install up to 64 gig on the 7D. 128 is the one not able to handle firmware and ML.

Guess which one I got?  It is not that much more expensive then the 64. Oh well! Thanks for the assistance.

what kind of card are you using in terms of speed? also, try to hold down the half press longer until it fills up.

Tried holding it longer, doesn't go longer then 13 frames for both my 32GB cards (400x Transend, 30MB/s Sandisk neither are super quick) I got a Komputerbay 1000x card, but didn't realize there was a limitation to installing firmware on a card larger then 32 GB (the 5D3 can boot off the smaller SD, wish the 7D had a SD slot!) I guess I was doing it right? Hah! 13 frames!

I think that's why it's called "burst mode". There is NO continuous for now.

Believe me, I understand this. I apologize if what I wrote seemed to imply the 7D is capable of recording for long periods. It looks like the average seems to be 2 seconds or so of recording. Though 13 frames for me seems disappointingly low. I was wondering if I was using the incorrect function, since it seems to write to a buffer first, then the card.

I must have missed something regarding using the Silent Picture mode. I loaded the required modules (as far as I can tell) and I can enable Silent Picture in simple, burst, burst end trigger, best shots, and Slit-Scan. When using burst it only takes 13 frames to the buffer then records them to the card. How to I set it to shoot continuous straight to the card?

Where can I test the crop mode resolutions too?

I'm sorry, I've been digging through the forums and cant seem to find this information. I apologize if it is listed somewhere and I missed it.

I purchased my 7D back in August of 2011. I'm wondering if this issue is something that can be confirmed.

Are you trying to install with a CF card larger then 32GB? I ran into this problem, firmware can only be loaded on a card 32GB or smaller as far as I know. I hope this limitation is remedied!

5D3 users are lucky, they can install ML on the 2nd SD card in their camera and use the large CF card to record. No such luck with our 7Ds! I hoped to use one of the Komputerbay cards, but have tried many different ways, cant get it to work. Works fine on my slow Sandisk though...
