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

Um no as a matter of fact, majority don't, overwhelming majority at that! I'm not trying to be a dick about it btw

All of this hoopla makes me wonder if this (7D) was the actual cam that they (Canon) recently flew onto the Iron Man set and not some modified 5Dll. That would make more sense.

DUDE! You read my mind, I was wondering the same thing

Jannard's gonna blow a fuse if this thing has clean, uncompressed, full raster HDMI output.

You are 100% on that. That's what I want to see. Canon 7D HDMI plus Nano Flash = 100Mbps saved on compact flash cards. Add in a 8 inch monitor at 1240x720 and you've got a super camera for less than $7,000. (True Bokeh, real lenses, depth of field, low light performance, accurate colors)

Things we don't know that are important
The HDMI out,
Stairstepping problem solved or at least minimized,
And a custom gamma curve would be nice to bring in some of the heavy highlights

If it has those 3 things and the rolling shutter is at least on par with the ex1, this this camera kills every "Depth of Field-I wanna make a movie rig" for the next 6 to 9 months. And imagine you could have a super rig for less than $7K and $2K starts you out. I love the RED guys but this could be a scarlett killer.

Right now though, I'm buying a 7D, I know it beats my HVX and Brevis. Anyone want a Brevis? If you want to pity someone, pity the 35mm adapter owners.

Ha! Sold my Letus Mini as soon as the D90 was announced. The 35 adapter route is definitely a dead-end. I think any 35 adapter manufacture would have known that their product could only exist for a limited amount of time before they become obsolete.

I could care less for that.. why would I want to weight down my compact run n' gun camera with additional crap to recorder via HDMI?

There are enough reasons for many users to favor the formfactor, handling and workflow of let´s say a HVX over any VDSLR.
And for those, adpaters will still be appealing if they want to add the "filmlook" to a selected projects.
For personal/noncommercial projects it might be okay to show up with a VDSLR, but some clients just want to see a "big gun" on their set, period.

One thing I agree: the days of EXPENSIVE adapters are over...
I´d rather custom build a fake RED housing around my 5D, than shell out 2-5K just for an adapter...

Hmmm, maybe I just had my next business idea!:grin:
Black box, cut out holes, put inside 7D body, a nano flash and a HD LCD at the end, print "ULTRA HD DIGITAL CINEMA CAMERA" on the outside, put on rails with mattebox and FF - happy clients! :grin::grin::grin:

LMFAO!! brilliant Idea. I'm in.
 
I predict HDMI output will be hobbled as it is on the 5D MKII although with the two processors, they probably have the horsepower to enable it. I wonder if we will know the answer to this before late this month?

Any focus assist features? Color peaking?

If they get the HDMI out you can always buy a $2K monitor that will have those features. That's why the HDMI out is so important.

Direct translation of press conference report
[According to Canon] 24fps and 60fps were made possible not because of dual DIGI4, actually a single DIGI4 can handle 24fps and 60fps. As for EOS Kiss X3 and 5D MkII, they are not sure if these cameras have enough reading speed for the data from the sensor when it comes to 60 fps. Therefore, at this point, they haven't decided to provide different shooting modes such as 24fps and 60fps through a firmware update for those EOS cameras with movie capability.

I honestly don't know about DIGI4 and reading speed. They say a single DIGI4 handles it but at the same time they're not sure if 5D MkII and Kiss X3 have enough reading speed.

This is just what Canon says.

So in other words the possibility exists that both the 5DII and Rebel will get 24p. That would be sweet if the rebel got 24/30p at 1080.

I don't want to buy a $1700 small camera to add a bulky $2000 monitor to it. I would not be buying the 7D for studio work or for professional team work, I am not a pro and I don't have a team. I would be buying it for my own use. Focus assist is a must for shooting HD video. I hope it has it.

If I get one, it's to shoot a sci-fi feature film and several shorts with it.
 
I don't think this question was asked, maybe it was...But How exactly will putting a Canon EF (FF)lens on the 7D effect the picture? there seems to be a small selection of EF-S lenses as compared to EF lenses... Well at B&H anyways... Can someone shed some light?

Hey Kholi, you ready for another round?

Phase 1: "OH MY GOSH HAVE YOU SEEN THE SPECS?!?!? THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER!"

Phase 2: "Are you frickin' kidding me? No autofocus in HD mode?!?!"

:D Heh. Happens every time, with every new camera release...
