I'm in!

I've actually got one that is working but is broken....
the screen is working fine and it's fine takin pictures, but the top screen is not working as should (it fell off the roof of a car while lending it to a friend and I got a new one on the insurance) I'd be real happy to send it if it's good enough and then we only need to pay for shipping..
Let me know what you think friends. I could post some pics of it, maybe worth askin 1% what he would think about it.

Otherwise I'm in for contributin with some cash.

I don't think he needs the top screen , this would be a really good idea , i'm sure we can all contribute for the shipping and return costs

I'm definitely in , i would love to lend him my own 7D but i admit the thought of being separated from my 7D scares me a little as it is my only tool right now

That was a scary 10 minutes!!

All sorted

haha , yes it scared me the first time as well

I have ND filter but I was asking for "Graduated ND glass".  Wouldn't help to recover the highlights and balance the areas where it has high contrast better with the graduated ND glass even you shoot RAW as crwn_schlr mentioned?

A Grad will definitely give you more control in some high contrast situations even with RAW , not that it's always necessary but it can always come in handy , the highlight recovery is truly amazing but controlling your exposure while shooting is always better , i hope that answers your question

Guys quick question; Just recently purchased Lee kit and graduated ND glass. Since RAW video shooting hopefully(!) will be stable on 7D as well, do I still need the Graduated ND glasses or could I recover every contrast details in the post (if I set the exposure for the whole frame) without being in need for a filter glass?

The highlight recovery is amazing, but you will definitely need a ND filter to shoot with a slow shutter speed in daylight , especially wide open

Are these images form the same camera, same lens, same angle and same Focal length? Because hard to believe!!

lol , yes this is the 7D's H264 with cinestyle vs ML 2.5k RAW

same lens , same aperture and iso etc , different focal length since i tried to match the 2.5k 5x crop , but you get the idea 

Just noticed slight flickering in middle/dark grays while shooting raw video. Anyone have this issue?

I had that issue and have seen it in other people's videos , i double checked the settings and i never figured out what is causing it

[RAW 2.5K]

Here , this will make you cry and never want to shoot with H264 again

RAW 2.5K 100% crop



H264 100% crop

Here , if you follow the steps in this thread you should get it running properly

@kh3naz

Nice video! 2.5k is beautiful 

Thanks!

unfortunately the video is really compressed on vimeo , i think ill give youtube a try with "original" quality

just a quick test from my balcony

Well that was fun , it showed me that i truly needed 2.5k+ and RAW , for more than 2 secs 

I'm going to preorder the BMPC4k and be done with it

Thank you all for your hard work !!

I'll compile this and upload it later today. However, I should mention that I have not been able to get raw recording to work properly on the 7D. After starting a raw take, my preview locks up and I get a bunch of "corruption" messages as the buffer is flushing. I then have to reboot the camera to get the preview back. Has anyone had this problem? I suppose it could be the media, but I used this same CF card with a 5D3 and it worked perfectly. And that still doesn't explain the LV lockup.

If someone can upload a known working raw_rec.mo (or at least working better than mine) I'd like to try it.

From what i read everyone is getting this , i found out that zooming in to 10x can do this too , usually switching from video to picture will unfreeze live view

now that Pelican is gone till october anyone up to the task to finish this great raw rec module?

Nobody else is working on the 7D ?

I wander what the write speeds were on that card. It doesn't seem to be at the 7d's potential.

I have no idea , i'm just here to test whatever they throw at us 

However i'm crossing my finger that the potential of the 7D is much better , that 2.5k with no line skipping thing is driving me nuts !

Going to post some tests tomorow

[For now]

For now a 1000x card can shoot RAW continuous at these resolutions :

Here's a list of raw continuous recording resolutions using 1000x cf card

24P & 30P
1728 x 576
1600 x 534
1472 x 626
1344 x 610
1280 x 582
1152 x 622

60P
1728 x 308
1600 x 382
1472 x 420
1344 x 436
1280 x 486
1152 x 464

Here's a list of raw continuous recording resolutions using 1000x cf card

They all work fine , thanks !

What i'm wondering is , will we ever be able to capture longer 2520x1200 with no line skipping

after playing around with this all night it's really hard to look back , it really is a tease

I can record 1152x576 continously with a Trascend 400x card.

I can only record continuously at 960x540 on a 1000x card 

Tested the RAW module with a 1000x Lexar card and

1728x972 = 107 frames
1152x576 = 243 frames

get weird glitches in 1728 see this picture

also liveview seem to freeze alot , after recording and 10x crop makes it freeze

Lastly a question related to silent burst , the * button to change the aperture starts the burst , is this intended ?

Tested my new 1000x card ,

got 69 frames of 1736x1156

got 59 frames of 2520x1200

tried testing the raw module but after copying the 3 files to my card the cam would not boot up , had to remove the battery and reformat the card

trying to figure it out , will try re-downloading as Miffy has suggested

Working now 

Much appreciated , 1.38 worked , ML is UP and running

Well , i'm still trying to figure out how to install ML , i'm having some issues you can read my post Here:

EDIT:

Pelican gave me a link to an older version of EOScard.exe and ML is up and running

will test it out and hopefully post some results

Here is the error that i get when i run EOScard.exe

EOScard.exe v1.39 is an instant crash for me on windows 7 x64

Downloaded the alternative Zip file , extracted content to cf card , followed all the other procedures , updated the firmware on camera

but nothing is happening , pressing the bin button does nothing !

Here is what the content of my card looks like :
