I've been talkiing with the guys at KomputerBay and we decided to do a test with their newest 1050x 128Gb card.
All I can say is wow-- It ate up over 35000 frames without skipping one frame! 35000 frames at 24 fps is 00:24:18:08
I'll admit the camera did get a bit warm, the card was on the verge of hot, but as soon as it came out from the camera it cooled off in about 20 seconds. The Quality is really noticeable in this test. I rolled on about 6 different shots and compared the All-I compression with the RAW--I also shot some using the 3x Crop mode.
I shot this at 1920 x 1080. Using a mac and raw magic software, I batched these shots and flipped them all into after effects. Very little was done there. Rendered Apple Pro Res 1920x1080, then downconverted that to 1280x720 for vimeo. The original Pro-Res 1920 x 1080 the differences are more striking. I wasn't able to record beyond 1920 x 1080 in size however. It took about an hour to flip the raw file to a series of .dngs.
See it here:
The differences on between the original canon All-I compression and the ML RAW are amazing. Huge files, but the KomputerBay 1050x Card did a superior job rolling along. Here's the benchmark tests from that new 1050x card (compared with the 64 Gb 1000x ):
For some reason the speeds at the beginning of the test were slower..not sure why..but
--It was nice being able to roll continuously with no problems for over 30,000 frames, thats 24 minutes!
