DIY Photography on why Magic Lantern RAW for the Canon EOS 5D Mark 3 is the best thing to happen to Canon!
This story is all over the web, but Petapixel had it right away. A new alpha of Magic Lantern has managed to get 1920x850 RAW video at 24P out of the camera, and it looks much better than the H.264 compressed video and it sounds like it may be better than the Black Magic Camera. As you can see from this Planet5D post on the subject, and you can see their post on the subject as well.And you can really get into this with the EOS HD post on it.I am sure that Canon doesn't want this, as they want you to buy their cine EOS cameras to get RAW capabilities, but it is awesome that Magic Lantern has been able to pull this off!
The Canon EOS 5D Mark III has gotten a firmware update to 1.21, FX Guide has the news.This is exciting as it enables uncompressed HDMI output! So you get uncompressed 4:2:2 8 bit video to an external recorder! And with it's anti-aliasing this becomes a powerful video camera! Still not the EOS-1D C, but still pretty amazing.
Cheesycam has the news on the new Rebel level EOS cameras the T5i and the very small Canon EOS Rebel SL1 both of which shoot full HD video, though certainly without the full HD out of the new 100D and 700D.
Cinescopophilia has the news on these new DSLR's that can shoot 24 fps for up to 22 minutes. They also mention HDMI mini output wiht full high definition, which if true is huge, as it will bypass the crappy h.264 compression.I didn't expect to have 2 S lens cameras released at the same time. Pretty cool.
Canon Rumors has the leaked info on the new tiny EOS-b DSLR. Interesting. I like the idea of such a small DSLR, especially if it has full HD recording and for $799 body only.
Canon Rumors has the update, and it seems it will take new hardware to make the Autofocus better on the EOS M.I would love an EOS M that really works well and has video capabilities as a second camera to go with my 60D, but be a little easier and more portable, but I don't want a camera that doesn't work right, so hopefully the sequel will be better. And honestly it should come with the lens adapter to use normal canon glass as that is the best feature and it should not cost $200 more for that feature.
