5d or GH3

You can change the crop J.F.R. and the M JPEG mode might be an awesome thing for those who don't want raw vtwiz. I still have to learn about that.

Amazing 5D Raw footage!

I have a few questions:

1. When ML perfects this for the 5D MK III will the file sizes still be so large? I'm just a hobbyist and don't have expensive computers and storage, trying to convert Terabytes of footage is insane!

2. Will shooting 5D raw be equal to GH3 resolution or surpass it?

3. Can the GH3 noise at high ISO be comparable to a 5D if one were to use NeatVideo? Sometimes I like to shoot indoors, at night with friends etc. Noise makes me want to punch a small child in the neck.

4. Are cameras like the Red Epic and Arria Alexa more easily copied by a GH3 or a 5D3?

Thanks :)

PS HeyRobert your GH3 footage looks great and does not look like the "camcorder" look I hate out of other footage...any reasons why?

1.There apparently is a MJPEG mode for less intensive work
2. The GH3 is strong in the res department, they seem similar with the MK3 in raw though, hard to tell exactly.
3. The MK3 is very good in low light compared to a lot of cams.
4. Well the 5D with raw would be closer but not going to rival the Alexa. Andrew Reid is hyperbolic sometimes.
 
Interesting times for camera manufacturers. Throws up all kinds of issues and questions for them.

Any 1080p50 support with these new hacks?
 
Somewhat random but related at some level. I read at 70% of Act of Valor with Shane Hurlbut wa shot on 5D Mk2. What are your thoughts on this? If its sharp enough for him doesn't that pull into question the notion that the 5d series isn't sharp enough? I mig have to rethink this!

Just for you I threw it off the roof of my building. It kept recording 24p RAW goodness right up until the moment it hit the ground. I figured it was about time I cashed on on my insurance.

I've been swinging it around like a lunatic so I could check for dropped frames... all good.

The MK2 is sharper than the MK3 but has some nasty aliasing. Shane put the MK2 files through a very expensive post process to get them looking good.
 
^ that

they actually shot a big portion of it at 30p (it was pre-patch) then tortured the hell out of the footage to make it 24p and clean enough for a high-end theatrical release

I think this is a high data-rate that is overwhelming the write speed of the standard memory card, where a high performance memory card might not have any problem.

Which is why many people bought the 95MB/sec 64GB SanDisk SDXC cards to shoot with the 100+ Mbps GH2 patches.

Very very expensive software to basically make the footage clean. Talking about 100K +, coupled with a million + dollar budget...... Many people could Never afford this.

Good points...so basically not possible for us normal folk... it seems like shooting RAW on 5D will be an impossible feat for daily/heavy usage for the average joe...can this be confirmed or denied? The purchase of a 5D or a GH3 at this point seems dicey considering I am unaware of how ML or GH hacks will improve performance of their respective flaws.

I've gotten a few PMs and did some research suggesting that the D5200/D7100 would be a compromise and a better bet than these two.
