When iTunes got going, piracy of music plummeted. it's why Firestores were so popular a few years ago, they took out a long time wasting step which made the workflow so much easier. Part of the reason the C300 has been so popular, the codec can come right out of the camera and be broadcast ready. Part of the reason the Alexa has been so popular (not call, clearly the picture it makes is very important) is the ease of use in the post workflow. Yes, filmmaking is a painstaking process, would you rather spend your time and energy fighting with a codec or a work flow that constantly slows you down and requires lots of extra steps and opportunity for mistakes which require even more time and effort to fix.
Though i appreciate the sarcasm on some level, there is a lot to be said for ease of use. But right now they don't have any incentive, because people are buying their camera's like crazy. the market indicates that people want that feature) they will respond. They said, "we're taking note." Someone else had asked the same question just 1 min earlier. I spoke with some Canon reps in NYC last week and asked about the possibility of 2K on the C300. But the truth is that most people don't really need RAW for their work, nor are they set up to handle the expensive and work that all that data requires. If people abandon Canon's offerings for other RAW cameras like the Black Magic cameras or the Kinefinity or some other RAW camera, than Canon will have a reason to offer something else. There is no incentive for Canon to change their practices because they are still selling what they are making. The problem with this hack changing the market is that to utilize this you have to buy a (as you say, crippled) Canon camera. The t2i is not designed for such throughput so you are not getting the same resolutions on that camera. The data through put on the 5DIII is robust enough to handle the raw video because it was designed to handle RAW photos at (what?) 23 megapixels. It does not require processing power because the data is not really being processed. It's not designed for every job.Īs for slow rolling the tech again, RAW is actually easier (aside from the data rates) than any codec. The c300 is selling and renting like crazy because it serves a large section of the market, providing the image and codec and workflow necessary for the job. Unless people stop buying their camera's they have no reason to make different choices. They are a business and they are making business decisions and reacting to the market as they see it.
They are not slow rolling the technology. This hack will probably come to all of the Canon cameras, but not all of them will be able to shoot 1080, so there may be some scaling needed in post. Other cameras are also in the early stages, like the T3i and the 6D. Right now the maximum RAW resolution on the Mark II is just below 1080.

For this reason if you're uncomfortable messing around with your camera, it's probably best to wait until the firmware is a bit more stable.Īs of right now card incompatibilities are tricky, but most 1000x CF cards should get you to 1080p or very close with RAW on the Mark II and Mark III. It's important to remember that this is in the very early stages, and glitches and crashing are much more common than in a release version. Take way more resolution, add some dynamic range, and you've got some seriously nice files to work with in post.īe sure to head on over to the links, including the Magic Lantern forum itself, to get the latest on everything happening with the early hack. This is very often what people are referring to when they talk about a film-like image even if they are having trouble articulating it. We already know dynamic range is extended thanks to shooting in RAW, and that helps with highlight roll-off, which is one of the easiest ways film separates itself from digital. There is definitely some added mojo with the hack that is just simply not there otherwise with internal recording.
