We've all seen this.. old news.

I don't know if it will ever come true =(

It was simply the PDF for the listed product on eBay a few posts up.

Not sure that helps any.

The EOS-M is a horrible choice for Magic Lantern RAW.

Bad aliasing, limited to SD speed of 40MB/s.

Here's the interesting part: If they refund him, or send him new cards, that means they totally know what they're trying to sell

No it doesn't, it means they have customer service if they replace or refund your faulty product.

4 out of 4 is really close to a 100%, not a good job KB

You don't expect them to have a return rate of 100% do you? That's just silly.

All consumer products fail.

I've seen Lexar, Sandisk, you name it, fail at one point of time or another.

You'll probably find more who has absolutely no issues but they are less likely to shout out about it.

Why don't you just keep the KomputerBay CF card.

I've had zero issues with mine.

Everythings political these days  . Thank you for informing me though  . What about the twelve minute limit on the Rebels such as the t2i?

There is no 12 minute limit but a filesystem FAT32 limit, which can only handle files up to 4GB. This, incidentally, corresponds to around 12 minutes of H.264 recording with complex scenes. Point the camera at a wall and you can easily hit the 29 minutes and 59 seconds limit imposed by EU law.

Yeah, nice speed increase with the latest build. Saw over 77MB/s on my 32GB KomputerBay 1000x card.

Hi,

A danish colleague asked if I knew any photographers in or around the Ohio area, who are used to do corporate videos, so I'm asking here if anyone wants to flex their experience and try out the Magic Lantern newfound RAW abilities.

It's a paid job (of course) and they mentioned the Canon 5D (II or III, I don't know) specifically.

Not sure where else to put this topic on this forum

@Andy600. Hi man, may I ask you something I did not found any answer yet?
I´ve been shotting RAW with the 50D and I have noticed that the final exposure of the images are quite underexposed, once I open it in ACR, compared with what I saw in the LV camera. My question:
Is there a way to shoot "WYSIWYG" in 50D raw?
I know that the camera is not intended for video shooting and the LV image do not match with the Photo mode shutters values. I use always manual vintage lenses and even the auto ETTR works fine to get the best exposure, I find very difficult to shoot with such a bright image.
I have only found that the only way to get WYSIWYG is turning ON the "Constant Exp" in FPS override menu, but as you probably know it only works with 100 ISO and 1/50 near values.
Pardom my english.

Turn on Global Draw and Histogram to see your exposure levels.

No mistakes, Doyle4 is right: 160 and multiples are not digital iso's, recommended for video recording.

No no no, 160 and multiples ARE digital ISOs, whereas multiples of 100 is analog, native ISO for the sensor.

Listen to a1ex on this one.

Well form my video samples i  tested i have found that if you use negative gain the image  is very clean No noise.
Being most of the noise is in the Luma channel, The black & white of the image.
So when you push the expose in Post i find there is more latitude in the shadows & darks.
From my understanding when you use the ML digital gain ISO's there are a different algorithm , i think no sure though.
The results of this is that i do not have to use any noise reduction software at all, no matter what iso i use.  

Give us some examples, I have a hard time seeing how you could pull this off if you are already at the cameras limit, at say, ISO1600 (which is the max native ISO for the 5D Mark II) and are still underexposed.

Isn't this merely true to your style of shooting because you have plenty of available light?

In RAW it only makes sense using ISO100, 200, 400, 800 and 1600. The rest are just manipulated afterwards, e.g. ISO160 is just ISO200.

To test it, shoot something at "ML" ISO160 and  Canon ISO200, then pull down the ISO200 to 160 in post. Do you see a difference?

So, what is it you are looking for exactly?

New SanDisk Extreme PRO 160MB/s cards look durable and tests show write speed @90MB/s, so enough for the 5D2 (?).

Showing 90MB/s on the 5D Mark II?

Maybe something like this:

I am using cheaper version: 2730, mine has 500GB 7200rpm HDD and it copies 64GB from komputerbay 1000x about 10 minutes.
Serious downside for some people is that 2730 for now cannot copy files greater than 4 gigs (but firmware update resolving this issue shoud be released this year).  More expensive ones doesnt have this limitation and can have SSD inside.
During my last shoot it was so handy, i was making car presentation so 40-45 sec (1080p) clips were more than sufficient for this. With two cards: KB64 1000x and sandisk 600x 32GB UDMA7 i took 350GB of footage almost continously. With two 64GB cards it would be even better.

And it's only £1,910 without VAT...

Something like this could be build with a cheap-ass SoC with PCIe support and Linux (thinking Open Source).

You might as well buy an ultraportable with 1TB SSD.

I have hit nearly 80MB/s in crop mode with a 32GB KomputerBay card, so doubt we've seen the last drops of performance squeezed out of Magic Lantern yet.

Are you by chance recording at 29.97 FPS?

As far as I can see they ship worldwide.

Shouldn't this thread just be closed before it quickly deteriorates into 12-year olds pointing fingers at each other, shouting from the top of their lungs about what their favorite playtoy of the week is?

You can order them directly from eBay. They ship worldwide.

Otherwise it sounds like you need to contact KomputerBay and have them talk you through it.

Weird, my Transcend 300x (45MB/s) 16GB cards allow me to record 1344 x 756 (40.5MB/s) with ease.

So, maybe I don't understand how RAW works exactly, but I'm curious as to how color profiles are handled. I typically use either the Cinestyle or Prolost flat color profile when I'm recording. As I've been tryoing to grade my test RAW footage, I've noticed that it looked a whole lot more saturated than I thought it should so I just did some comparison shoots in RAW and H.264. The H.264 (seen on top) looks flat like I would expect it to while the RAW footage (seen on the bottom) looks super saturated. Does RAW not apply color profiles?

RAW is RAW.

Hence why the color profile isn't "baked" in.

Some random shots I did the last two weeks, unfortunately YouTube compression absolutely kills the quality 
Shot using the standard Canon Zoom Lens EF 24-105mm 1:4 L IS USM and some shots with variable ND filter.

hello,
i am new to the forum, would like to thank all smart guys for their work - incredible. Could You pls advice me on which build is the most stable - working for RAW video on mkii?
Thank You.
