I was thinking completely getting rid of the digic  processor and the buffer memory with a miniITX PC running i7 and that would either directly control the sensor and the lens system or emulate the canon motherboard hardware completely.

This will require an interface for the PC to work with the canon hardware and it can be canon firmware free (which justifies the earlier name canon mark free XD).And all this to record on high frames rates on RAID SSDs.

Hi

I know that there are lot of guys searching for SSD recording for their RAW videos and none them find any solution to it.
I am thinking to open up my canon 5d mark iii and either add an extra sata chip by extending the motherboard or replace completely the compact flash chip with a sata chip, to record directly on SSD.Again this would need the SATA driver to be loaded into the firmware for the SATA chip to work.

Am also thinking of RAID setups putting multiple SSDs to speed it up to record raw upto what ever max resolution it takes.

All these things are risky and will take a lot of work, am thinking of hiring couple of guys to do it ,although I can do it myself excluding the firmware part.

Am looking forward to you guys about what you think about this project, and is it even possible or even if it's possible to what extent it can be done?
