5D3 50D ML RAW 10 days, 311 raw clips, 2300 CR2s: 19 clip and 3 camera errors

[GregoryOfManhattan]

traveling with 5D3 and 50D shooting magic lantern raw along with several time lapses.
returned with 470GB - 311+ raw clips, 2300 CR2s (most from several time lapses)
both cameras worked very well with magic lantern.

most of the raw video clips look great - absolutely stunning images for frames of video. changing settings does take time and in outdoor lighting conditions, it is difficult to see through the glare.  some ML features (e.g. ability to roll through menu options from high value to low) while convenient in the studio require more care in the field.

ML flicker-free timelapse features worked well on each camera.  you have to manually adjust using the top dial the shutter speed to get low speeds (less than 1/24) - you can't do this from the ML menu.

for photos, turned off Auto-ETTR  when i had shots with large dynamic range and preferred to let parts of the sky blow out (didn't try to adjust percentages and channel options).
when i did want to switch from video to photo shooting it seemed to take some time to adjust settings and it is not as easy as turning the canon c1 c2 on the mode dial. 

table and description of errors encountered below.
will post edits when ready. any interest in comparison of  50D and 5D3 similar shots?

Errors so far:
0 frame rate:  11
rawmagic or raw2dng report a frame rate of 0.
1 5D3 clip which reported 0 rate in rawmagic causes rawmagic 1.0 beta7b to crash.
raw2dng can process all frames - though the frames after the point where rawmagic crashes are corrupted.
battery was running low as card was filling - so i'm happy to have 7489 out of 7532 good frames.

slow frame rate: 7 (1?)
rawmagic or raw2dng report a frame rate lower or different than camera setting.
7 of these occurred on the 50D when outside temperature was 113 degrees F (45 C)
1 clip on the 5D3 (different day) has raw2dng fps 29.776 and rawmagic rate 29.97  both are strange when all other clips in the sequence are at 23.976 (of course could be accidental setting - but why difference between raw2dng and rawmagic?)

camera errors
on 5D3 also encountered one Err70 and one Err80 both easily resolved by dropping battery and power cycling.
got the message for card full once when the card was not full.
experienced 1 camera lock up where the camera would not turn on described on post

... no power with or without cards issue last week on a 5D3...

rawmagic was able to process completely all but 1 clip including one which spanned 9 files.

I'd hate to brag, but I have you beat!  Shot a narrative short last week on the 5D3 ML Raw.

42 Full Cards, 2.7TB filmed, 1281 clips, 7 hrs of footage - 0 (zero) errors.

[1%]

slow frame rate: 7 (1?)

Known issue when 50D is overheating... fps will drop.
