Are you guys saying the 95mb sandisk is useless with the 6D? How its possible to record a120mbps video on a 35mb card!!??

because 35 MB is 8 times more than 35 Mb, sorry for the megabyte, megabit thing. 

what are your video settings set to?  because I still have issues.

I set it to all-I 24 fps, it does seems to be a bit more finicky when set to IPB.  I have no idea why this is.

[(thank you very much 1%)]

-Bit Rate (I read it's hardest to understand, it's not as simple as on my t2i with just the CBR factor ?) - Its not hard to understand. Pick a config and load it is all you have to do in theory. Old way doesn't apply to this camera or 5d3.

I bought a 64gb uhs1 card @ 35mb per second, I haven't had issues with it getting bit rate to 12 (120mb/s) and initial qp to 1 aside from a very occasional auto stop (once every 30 minutes or so of recording) For high importance footage just turn it down to 80 initial qp to 2.  For the first install you must use a small card (16gb worked for me) then just copypasta the ml folder and .bin file to your 64gig or 128gig, format with eos card and you're good.

This release is as stable as the official release for my 600d.  Haven't had any battery locks since I updated to the most recent .bin (thank you very much 1%)

[greatly]

Wow, everything is fixed, thank you 1%! This is excellent. 

Vertical lines at fps = 2.5 but rolling shutter greatly reduced. 

Should be perfect in time for the summer.  I can't wait to put it to good use.  Donations in the future (I'm struggling to pay heating bill at the moment, February has been ridiculous).

Made a little video, youtube cmpressed it of course, but all in all, very impressive.  Used 24p set bit rate to 100.  For some reason that's the only time it works otherwise I have to go to canon defaults. 

I used marvels advanced, btw this is in fact better then technicolor cinestyle as I have looked closely and noticed clipping in the shadows on the cinestyle (spot meter never goes below 3% even in pitch black) but I have an older version of the technicolor.

This is strait out of the camera.

Couple of things:

Movie Differences

1: The moire is not as bad as the 5d mk2, they are the same at worst.

2: 720p 60 fps is HUGE with the ultra high ISO capabilities means twixter footage in way different situations then ever before.

3: the screen is WAY better the 5d mk2, which hurt my eyes

Photo differences

1: ACR 7.4 hasn't come out yet, so we won't be able to see the raw files yet.

2: extra fps is nice

3: auto focus is way better, center point is the best of any camera I've ever used (probably 1dx is better, but no one I know has one)

I have, out of about 200 clips, only one clip where the moire is truly bad, it's mostly because of multi color, it's as if the rgb pixel arrangement is vertical, as a result horizontal lines get destroyed, I'm experimenting with a method of removing this in premiere  Basically, I want to vertically blur the color channels, while sharpening the black and white. In camera: Try turning the noise removal off and setting sharpness to 0.  I've noticed this helps.

So what is everyone's verdict on the quality of the footage?  In my opinion with a pentax 1.4 smc this is some of the nicest footage I've ever seen. 

I like the noise profile way better then the ccd cameras currently used in big productions.  The footage is just inherently deep in color. And it lends itself well to color correction.  It seems like the dark areas of the scene especially have a very nice neep roll off into black.  Whereas what I've seen from ccd cameras such as the red is there is always some noise unless you truly crush the blacks in post (cutting at least a few stops off the dynamic range).

Even with bitrate not being anything close to true raw, it seems that ultimately you are getting a more honest dynamic range and color depth solely based on the noise profile.

I managed q = 1 and bitrate = 12 on all-i 24p, but when I switched to 720p all-i it lasted maybe 3 seconds before quitting out. 

Any idea why?  Also, the variable framerate function is really awesome, switching between 60 and 24 on the fly, very chill.

When I set frame rate to below 5, it still looks okay, or it gives the ol battery freeze.  However, the jello-cam is godawful. Not sure what's going on there, not a huge deal, I have the 600diz for that.

Everyone involved here is awesome.  I only wish that I could help somehow.  I took my camera out in a snow storm at night last week and was amazed by the results.  Really a step above my 600d.  Plus with my 105mm f2.5 it was bokeh heaven.  I can't wait for the alpha to be released, magic lantern for the 5d mk ii was awesome to work with. 

I only wonder why the moire is still so present when it has been eliminated from the 5d mk 3.  I feel like integrating the electronic level with the video could be interesting too.  Trap Electronic level shutter?  And of course, if someone could write an app for the iphone (maybe that will be me) that works with video as a follow focus that would be unreal.
