Where did you see video formats with raw in the list? The canonrumors
one only says "File formats". Although the lack of JPEG seems odd, and
all of the others in that list are video formats, so maybe...
I'll be ordering one and hope that the single DIGIC will make it
amenable to porting Magic Lantern.

What separates the 5D’s video recording from that of other DSLRs is manual adjustment of settings and audio levels while recording. These features are available, in part, due to Live View; which permits real-time monitoring on the LCD as well as menu functionality during recording. The DIGIC 5+ processor also enhances the 5D Mark III’s video functions by improving response times and reducing color artifacts, aberrations and moiré."
A lot of this sounds interesting. While it wont give full ML functionality, I think the improved low light capability, 720/60p and continuous recording to 30 mins will be very useful.The ALL-I codec will be best if the bitrate is sufficient. However, it's biggest claim to fame for the canon implementation is the post editing ease.
The IPB code should produce the best visual results as B-frames increase compression by around 30% iirc.
This all depends on the capabilities of the codec. I've seen plenty of h.264 codecs that don't perform as well as h.263. (Sorry can't link atm as I'm on my phone.)
I'd love to see the IPB code ported back to the digic4 processors.
Hi James.As you go wider the detail in the scene becomes finer. The current range of Canons are not capable of resolving this fine detail in video mode.
To keep up with the video frame rate, the processor simply discards most of the image data (using a process called line skipping), this limits the resolution of the image and introduces other artifacting such as aliasing and moire.
Another factor that affects the detail and resolution of the video is the h.264 compression, fine detail is lost as areas of similar colour are blocked together dropping detail in the process.
If you were to simply scale/crop your still photo down to 1920x1080, you would have a much more detailed image than a single frame of video. Especially if there is lots of fine detail.
Hi James,
Focal length doesn't affect resolution at all. It's the subject that matters and the perceived resolution. When shooting close up, a lack of perceived resolution is often desired. Movie makers with HQ gear have complaining talents because to much face detail is visible. They add soft filters to compensate for that. This is pretty ridiculous. You have 100k gear with jaw dropping resolution and quality and have to put on a blur filter.
A canon dslr is great in portraits and personally I see very little difference in portraits from high end cameras and ones from 550d with plastic fantastic (50mm 1.8II). Lack of resolution isn’t a problem with shallow depth of field either with the subject large in the frame. Like leaves, animals, grass etc. It can even help because less detail produces more stable movements. No complains there at all.
When you want deep focus shots with lots of detail like forests, you can get these super wides like 16mm on full frame and capture a forest that looks like a forest on the screen. I mean establishing shots that place the viewer in the area where the story takes place. There is not much selective focus needed. Here I get very disappointed results from the current 550d/600d with my Tamron 11-18mm. Stills look great but video is awful. Now I switch to (hdr) timelapse for these shots or I’ll grab my Sony hx9v compact with 24mm wide. It shoots 1080 50p and the landscapes looks great. I would love to do these shots with the Canon dslr. I can get the right aperture most of the time but it’s the resolution that spoils everything. Now I need two tools and can’t use my lenses on both. High detailed 11mm (17mm) shots on my 600d would be very very nice. I’ve considered a GH2 for landscape but have to buy a whole new set of expensive lenses and the cropfactor doesn’t allow such wide angles.
Also a couple of ML features do best on landscapes like the hdr film mode and fps override. Now they have limited use because you have to accept the low resolution. I have a great avisynth all video workflow at 720 50p with little ghosting but I will not use it because of the 720p lack of resolution.
