Raw video test, 5D vs 50D
- Image quality
- Moire
- Raw video vs 4K photo
Lenses:
5D3: Canon 85mm 1.8 full frame
50D: Canon 50mm 1.8 aps-c
Anamorphic Kowa prominar 8z
Magic Lantern V1.2.3 build 2014-05-23
Conclusion: image quality of 5D is much better than 50D, but the 50D is holding up quite well and will do very good as 2nd cam. As the 50D is now around 350,- on 2nd hand market, this is the ideal camera to start with when you want to shoot raw. The next interesting part is the comparison with a 4K photo: the raw video is holding quite well against the sharper photo, see the shots in 300% to see the difference.
How is it tested:
Canon 5D and 50D fixed on one "rig". Anamorphic lens screwed on 50mm or 85mm lens for widescreen cinema look. In ML the old RAW format is used, MLV is not yet stable. CF cardL 64GB Komputerbay.

Resolution used for Anamorphic shooting:
Select in camera: 1536 x 1290, then in post go to Clip Attributes in Resolve and select scope, this way the 2x anamorphic will be corrected to widescreen/cinemascope. Then in project you can choose whatever resolution you want, just normal 1080p or custom. In this video it is upscaled to 4K, to compare raw video with 4k photo in the end.
