I also decide to keep my 7D just for its 2.5k raw recording mode. The problem here is the crop factor on 5x mode. 

If only I could use this lens on my 7D

I must be missing something, but the tragiclantern-Tragic.2013Oct15.7D203 release freezes my 7D when I turn on the raw module. Via firmware update.

Any idea?

Please tell me what's the reason to put passwords on such a mediocre tests like this?

douchebag

Do not rule out the mighty Canon EF-S 10-22! It's perfectly fine for the 7D. It's one of my most appreciated UWA (not fish eye) lenses.  Millimeters are the same for crop and FF. And 4 mm is a lot on the wide end.

Edit: actually, before ML it was the main reason why my 7D was still around!

I worked last week with that lens, it's ok, but needs lots of light. f3.5 is not enough for a decent DOF.

Hi. Maybe someone have Rokinon/Samyang 8mm lens and can test it in a 5x crop mode? Im eager to see the results...
Thanks

Would be that something like 64mm?

8x5x1.6?

Does anyone know if Metabones Speedboster for EF mount will be available? Would be great on crop 5x mode.

Keep up the great work!!   

Since 3X crop is sharper and very minimal aliasing and moire I went out and tried to see whats it like to shoot entirely in crop mode.
Used a Tokina 11-16 as a 33-48 "normal" lens and an 80-200mm nikkor as a very long 240-600mm.

Also, for this piece I removed the VAF filter to get optimum sharpness.

Can you do the same test on you 7D?

yeah, I was wondering about this too. maybe its power will be unlocked soon? maybe in 3x crop.

I'm talking about full sensor maxres.

Well 50D does at least 1920x1038 continuous, sometimes it does the whole thing or more. 6D has all the benefits of FF/newer sensor and iso range and can do 720P easily or you can enlarge whatever your card can do.

I bet 5DIII works over 1080P continuous, its the best but $4k.

7D has a decently sized res and 60P mode. I'm really surprised its not doing 1080P continuous... If you've seen 86 or more MB/s then it should. I think the problem is you're stuck at 30P without FPS override and the native LV is lower than 1080P. I guess FPS + display filters are the top priority and also the hardest.

Actually 50D/5DII/5DIII are the only cameras that can do 1080P continuous this moment. Only 5DIII has any hope of writing raw + audio because of the separate cards.

Hi 1%, I'm a little confuse now... Can 7D achieve 1080p? is that full sensor? I thought 1728x972 was the maximum resolution.

This kind of modification would be very useful in crop mode. What do you think?

Holy cow you guys are amazing , did a quick test , continuous 1728-972 with working live view on my 1000x card

how are you guys doing 1080p it won't let me select it ?

there are no words to describe how excited i am !

EDIT : just realized other resolution are available in crop

Cheers, that's the max resolution for the Canon 7D.

Higher resolutions in crop mode with hardware modification would be interesting in the near future.

wow, so the 7D is becoming a very serious video camera behind the mark III.

funny bucause it was the "ugly duckling" of the canon cameras.

Guess I won't be upgrading. No money for 5dmiii I already own a d3s. Just wanted it for timelapse and underwater video.

The 7D will have a better performance than the Mark II, the "powa" is there,,,  just be a little patience.

i

Any suggestions? Don't want to sell my 7d to later find it I shouldn't have :\

Thanks

If you're going tu update your 7D, it should be for a Mark III. 

Hi everybody ! I'm back with my 7D. Just made another one (2.5K, crop mode, with a limit of 59 frames) :

Really beautiful.   

I was wondering, if it can be possible to write 10bit or 12bit RAW instead of 14bit RAW.  That would be nice. File size will be much smaller, and the quality will be still pretty high. So maybe higher resolutions and frame rates would be possible.

 

7D is the only camera where writing is faster than reading.

Nice, it's a fast camera, should be better than the 5D Mark II, isn't?

raw video? damn I sold my 7D 








Just kidding. 

Thank you Alex. I appreciate your hard work.

Sorry I've missed something, haven't I?

Good news for the 7D owners. Thank you Alex, we appreciate your efforts 

I have to buy a new card and will be prepared for raw 
what is the fastest write Speed for the 7D?, which card is working fast in 7D?

Nice, you're getting ready for raw.... 

Maybe when we can shoot raw, 5000x cards will be released 

  "inappropriate activity alarm"

OMG,    really sad. btW Welcome to the forums. 

very nice

hack my camera please
