so when people realized it was a major issue, why didn't they return

Good question:
In my case, I am a wedding cinematographer, and a photographer. I shoot both, photos and video, and a lot of those shoots are in candle light so I need to maximize ISO. BMCC is a great "cinema" camera but it is not for events mainly because of the file size. Also, it is not ergonomic for running and gunning. If you loaded and get the rig and all that, well, then it is not that affordable is it?
I wish we had DNG goodness but hey, - life is a bitch
Here is the wedding that I shot over the weekend with 6D: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBtEPLGB2bY
Keep in mind, weddings are crazy and stressful and you almost never have time to do everything right so don't judge - running and gunning baby

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

What are you talking about? I have shot in RAW and delivered to clients already.

I have, out of about 200 clips

200 clips of what? Did you shoot to test moire or you just shot whatever?
Do you have a m2 right now? Shoot a brick wall or something that has lines (wide angle) and compare the two.
Anyway, we all know the specs- can we move on with testing?

1% what was updated in latest menu bin?

so why did you buy a 6d?

ISO... and only that

from the compare videos of 5d2 vs 6d moire, 5d2 was worse

Strongly disagree! I shot with mark ii for 4 years and even though it had moire - it was NOT as bad as on 6d. On the contrary, I feel like photos are better then mark ii.

Hate moire!

Set target rate in config to like 300 or 250mb/s

just to be sure, how many 0s is that?

The solution: Set target rate in config to like 300 or 250mb/s... this way the camera will never exceed it.

Interesting... Will try

Thank you for adding Kelvin temps - very helpful!

I´m going to get one in a couple of weeks and test it out

It looks promising but Im afraid it will ruin the photos as 6d is an amazing stills camera. Can't wait to see some real world tests and hear your overall opinion.  I'm reviewing the wedding footage that I shot and so far, Im really liking it! The ceremony was incredibly dark but 6d had no problem there- footage looks beautiful! Also, I did not run into moire problems on this particular shoot so I'm very happy

without sharing settings, you're not helping anyone out much ; )

Oh, sorry... I did not fuck with ini files because I was shooting a wedding and was too afraid it would stop in the middle of something important. I used stock rates but will continue experimenting and let you know as soon as I get something stable. Other then that ML was excellent, and full-screen zoom is just a life savior when you run and gun!

Yesterday worked 6D for 10 hours - no issues at all!

is it possible to add kelvin values somewhere in the corner when using shortcuts? Since canon took out WB it is a pain to dive in to menu just to check you wb temperature

I was unable to reproduce the glitch but I think the complexity of the scene has to do something with it. I tried just now at home and it worked fine. When I did it earlier today the scene was much more complex. I did make several of those clips earlier with the same bad result. Right now I tried VRB, RC and H.264 and they all worked. Also, I noticed that at lower frame rates like 4 and 5, I get vertical lines but not at 7 and higher.

So, I modified the RC.ini and got some great results averaging 60-70mb/s (IPB) stable. TheSe were my settings: http://i48.tinypic.com/f9i9hf.png
Everything was looking good until I tried to use FPS Override @ 5 and this is what happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFnQBHubu0s&feature=youtu.be

Notice that it was doing ok until I started to push the slider. It is fine with stock rates.

I can't figure out the shortcuts, once they disappears (during recording); I can't get them to show up again. Just to verify, you said to double click, but it is not responding and they don't come back up. Is it just me or thats how it is?

RC is where I'm confused

I am in the same baot as you are but I think RC is like VBR, but with the -1qp which attempts to record at lower qp.
qp 1 is the best quality but it requires very high bit rates, so we are all curious if it will work on your card.
try this and let us know:
bir rate: 0
Initqp: 1
Autoload config: override
Configselect: Rate Control

Config loaded: yes

See if it will crash and what rates is it showing. If this will crash, try raising iniqp until it will stop crashing. Oh, and make sure you are using IPB compression.

only doubleclick works while recording.

no go for me... what am i doing wrong?

Kill-Flicker update is solid. Short keys are working fine except when its gone there is no way to bring it back when recording. Magic Zoom on focus ring still not working.
Can I make a feature suggestion here?

I bought the camera from BH, but if it is a hardware issue, do you think canon would issue a full refund?

dont expect him to answer that question, you know the rules. If this is a hardware problem it would happen regardless, it just happens that you had ML when it happened. ML does not write anything to cam's ram so if you take out ML and it is still messed up, well at least you have options.

weird, there is something wrong with your cam
can you upload short clip at ISO 400 so we can take a look

are using peaking? if so turn it off. What if u dont use ML and reset camera settings, you still get that?

Is that ISO200?

Dont bother, yes it was because of that. THX anyway!

If you overrode initqp or bit rate while on rate control then it will crash. Just autoload on an rate control config. make sure its in the ML folder.

That's what I meant. No override and auto load on still crashed and ini is in ML folder. I am going to modify the ini and lower Min and Max bitrate and see what happens.
I have the short cuts on the display and everything works except pushWB. Is that because I have ISO assigned to it in canon?

I think thats canon.

sounds like fixed qp recording. rate control kept it real even on a cheap 32gb card

When I tried RC at first, without any overrides, it still crashed. I will do some more testing later.

Question, when arrow shortcuts are on, for automatic white balance it says push but how? The SET button does not do it. How do you use that feature?
