I own a 5d mark iii and was tempted to buy one of the new BlackMagic Cinema Cameras because of the sharper prores and the super sharp raw that it produces, even the older 2.5k version. The BlackMagics don’t work for me for most of what I do, event coverage and ENG documentaries where speed to upload is hugely important. BUT I did want it for things I could take my time on, like music videos and short films. Memory storage is an issue.

The awesome, super smart people over at Magic Lantern just hacked a camera I already own to enable it RAW 14-bit video recording! This is a nightly build not quite yet alpha but perhaps soon to be. It is continuous!

Here are examples. Mind. Blown.
