What about a quarterly update (can be much shorter)?

That's beginning to sound like work. 
Doing quarterly updates for the execs to justify your existence and expenses. 

We have to remember that these are volunteers. If it starts feeling like a job/chore, they might lose interest and will no longer want to do it.

just my 2c 

That is at odds with the way the cards are presented on Amazon:

- COMPATIBLE WITH DSLR, SLR, AND OTHER HIGH END CAMERAS
- Comes with free plastic case compact flash and Lifetime Warranty

And:

Ultra Reliability

Backed by a lifetime limited guarantee, you can have confidence in the quality of your card and its ability to withstand some of life's toughest conditions to continue to provide you with a long-lasting, reliable memory storage solution throughout its own lifetime and that of your Compact Flash compatible device.

It even says 'professional' on the card.

Bit misleading? The text is in direct conflict with the page you linked to.

expect the best but prepare for the worst? lol 

[WITH ALL FAULTS]

Those cards are factory seconds.  Which means a testing machine found potential problems.  When you buy the card, you put your time into testing them further in the interest of getting a good one.  I don't know of many guaranteed "brand" cards failing.  IF a card was going to die, then ML would be the thing you'd want to throw at it.  You're writing as fast as the camera can, generating heat, etc, and putting all the memory cells through max read/writes.  I just don't get it.  To ask if ML is somehow busting something that is a factory second?  Yes, it was a bad card along, as all of them have the potential to be discovered as such.

Got the prototype 50D VAF in the mail today.

Expect images from video posted this morning... Remember, this is the prototype and not the final product...

awesome!!!!

thanks for the share 

yeah coz the moderator blocked Silkway for being too haarch in critic about others works

lol

did you really have to quote the whole thing? lol

Spanning works here, just tested. It takes 3 shoots to get me to 1920x1038 continuous and I think auto mode isn't returning global draw to on.

whoa, whoa
1920x1038 continuous ?

I like it.
GJ on the vid m8 

wow, thanks for the share. 

That looks really cool... Just incredible thing to have RAW and video with it. In March or April, I was thinking about 60D for the rotative screen, but the 50D is cheaper and use CF... What a huge gap now in the canon line (CF vs SD) 

If only the 60D had CF. lol 

I've been in direct contact with Mosaic Engineering. In fact, I am sending them a 50D tomorrow so that they can fit and design the new VAF filter!!! This is going to rock!

awesome!

Awesome, now I just need to get my camera.
