7D has manual control 1080p 24/25/30p and 720p 50/60p

4 gb =
4000 mb
12 mins =
720 Seconds
5.555555556 MBPer Second

Stacks up from the clip timing

Could this mean stoopid compression ?

S

forgive my ignorance,im confused about this also.im trying to figure out if 7D has the same image quality as the 5Dmk2. from the specs below,does it mean that the 7d is less compressed than the 5Dmk2?

5Dmk2: 4.8 MBytes/sec (1080p), 2.2 MBytes/sec (VGA)
Quicktime MOV using H.264 codec, PCM codec for audio

7D: 5.5 MB/sec (1080P), 5.5 MB/sec (720P), 2.8 MB/sec (VGA)
.MOV MPEG-4 AVC, H.264

im not very knowledgeable when it comes to compression and data rates. can anybody give an insight regarding this?any opinion would be greatly appreciated....thanks
 
Judging by the Line Of Sight clip the shuttering is better than any other CMOS camera I have seen. It doesn't look like it would limit the operator in any way. Everything in the shade looks excellent. The direct sunlight material is dull in color, high in contrast and contains lots of highlight clipping, but this could be operator error.
 
What a day! I think its the "camera of the year" - simply a must have. Can´t wait to hold it in my hands...

btw: please join the 2 big threads here - its exhausting to read both.
 
Anyone here wondering about the HDMI out? I've looked through the menus, but I doubt any of those hosehead digicam review sights will even test the HDMI out. I'm hoping for Full HD, and it would be so nice to get around the h.264 compressor.

Did they announce if the audio gain will have a manual mode?
Audio gain is not in the menus. Will probably have to wait for a magic lantern update for that.

What a shame. I wonder why? To save something for the 8D? So that it doesn't become easy to notice the noise at high gain? They just didn't get around to it?

Like you said the update should be quite the sure thing, but it might take some time. Oh well.

I guess for the price there is no reason to complain! What a steal!

Is there any hope for a less compressed stream to be recorded somehow?
 
5-10% higher bitrate. I love this camera. Gimme now!

IF the HDMI is uncompressed, which I doubt, yes you can record that to any HDMI capture source which means you could possibly record uncompressed. I'm not going to put a whole lot of hope into that being real. You'd have the equivalent of a mini Viper Filmstream if that was true.

Oh boy...maybe it's time to get back in the camera game. This is mind blowing. To swipe or not to swipe, that is the question.
