It's plain for
all to see that the Canon 5D Mark III may be the
prefered DSLR for videographers all over the world, but things are going to
become a lot more interesting. The individuals behind Magic Lantern have successfully struck
gold and now the 5D Mark III can shoot 24 fps RAW video at resolutions as much as 1,920 x 820 pixels
using 1000X memory cards. If you're unfamiliar with Magic Lantern, it's an open
source firmware that brings
further abilities to Canon's EOS cameras. The capability to shoot RAW video at 24
fps enhances dynamic range and resolution, in addition, it allows extra
flexibility during post-production. In line with the team at Magic Lantern,
more work is necessary before the feature is ready to be deployed. So until
then, you're invited to check out the web link below and watch the RAW vs.
H.264 videos.
Update: We only now received news from
Magic Lantern that Canon's Mark II is also capable of 24 fps with the newest
firmware. Nic from the Dev team said "After some further testing it's
clear the older, cheaper Mark II should be able to record at the lower
resolutions of 1880x840 in full-frame mode."
