And please let it stop here. Gone through this one at LuLa forum before and it wasn't funny at all.
Do your own test cropping stills and you will come to a conclusion.

hehehe... can you point me to that thread or give over the final conclusion/reason? 

Once I get the card and up and running I'll probably do my own tests, but in the mean time- maybe someone can resolve a mystery for me...

How does the crop relate to perspective distortion and depth compression? Actually I'm a bit confused how crop-factor relates to that as a whole, but maybe with the double-crop this is a good place to get overall clarity...

In other words, will a 20mm lens on 7D with crop mode (to keep it simple, let's assume it's 3x) feel like:

1) a 20mm would on full frame, just not the entire field of view (i.e. taking a crop of a picture *after* it's taken)

2) a 60mm would on full frame (3x crop applied *before* the picture is "taken")

3) a 92mm would on full frame (3x crop + 1.6 crop factor, applied *before* the picture is "taken")

Again, I'm talking here about perspective distortion and depth compression, not field of view.

Unfortunately, NOT on the 5D mkII or 7D. only on the 5dmkIII. Change it to either 1000x 128 or 64.

Wow, thanks Ted! Good thing I was able to cancel the order!! Going for the 128 1000x and FCR-HS3 Reader

[WIL NOT]

For Komputer Bay CF cards the 1000X 128gig, 64gig, 32gig, they all work with 5DmkII and 7D.

The 1050x 128 gig WIL NOT. This is due to newer firmware on the card controller.

I thought you could load ML from a different card, and then pop one of these in for actual recording? If not, I need to cancel my order a.s.a.p....

my understanding is that using 128GB cards for shooting isn't a problem, you just need to load ML from another card first

All these developments are making me impatient... I think I'll just order the 1050x card and card reader and report back how they work. Seems there's no real definitive reason why they wouldn't

Thanks Walter, I'll look into that card reader. In terms of battery life, I use AC adapter- but yeah, a card reader is definitely the way to go- thanks for the nudge in the right direction

My only catch is since I'm in Israel, it's a bit tough to get bulkier equipment. A CF card can be slipped into an envelope. Card reader is a little trickier... but you're right, I need to get one

Looking forward to the group's conclusion for that card...  can't wait to start playing with ML, and I have a couple upcoming low-budget shorts which I was going to rent a BMCC for but now might just shoot with this upgrade. Yay!

BTW I have both a programming and film background (portfolio @ http://davidkomer.com)... it's been a really long time since I've played with asm, and my C is really very rusty as well... but I'm no stranger to thousands of lines of code if I'm able to help out somewhere specific. Schedule's pretty tight, plus family obligations etc. but you never know

You need a card reader or you will not be able to install ML.
Kingston FCR-HS3 works very well with SD and CF and costs only a fraction of the card's price.

And you will be limited to USB 2.0 speed (about 16 MByte/s cam -> computer). To transfer 128 GByte this way it will take about 2 hours. And you will drain the batteries reducing their life time ...

@all: Heard about compatibility issues with this card and 7D. Still a problem or solved?

Ciao, Walter

Hey guys, I'm new to magic lantern, this is my first post

Will this card work with the 7D raw: http://www.amazon.com/KOMPUTERBAY-128GB-Professional-COMPACT-Extreme/dp/B00DQ8WM72 ?

I saw elsewhere, in the 5d forums, that there's an issue connecting that card via usb2 readers. Since I don't have an external reader, and I plan to use the camera connected directly to the computer to do the offloading... will it be okay?

Any reason to go with the 1000x instead (besides a little savings)?

Thanks
