I think it is premature to conclude the Magic Lantern hack of the Canon 5D Mark III will produce superior video in every respect compared to the BMPC4K or BMCC. Interesting you and Levi have ordered the BMPC4K. Maybe it’s a market they didn’t want or think they could get? Makes me wonder…” Canon already has the infrastructure and scale to handle the manufacturing side of it.

They could have been selling a Blackmagic like camera a year before BM did. And it kinda makes me wonder what Canon is doing….they could literally own the full-frame RAW/indie market if they had done something like this in 2010/2011 as a successor to the 5DII. That camera appears to have a limited shelf life now. Ryan I do agree that the 1DC becomes a much less desirable camera if the 5DIII hack holds up. Maybe it’s a market they didn’t want or think they could get?

I don’t think one camera precludes the other. But I also already have my pre-order in for a 4K Blackmagic camera. rock-solid in production environments), I’ll certainly run it. I have a 5DIII and if the hack makes it to a reliable state (i.e. Or maybe you just want the RAW image, but compressed to a ProRes (HQ) file live on-set. The BM has SDI connections for on set monitoring or DIT setups.

If you’re shooting in a studio production or long form interviews the Blackmagic camera may be a better fit. Remember the 5DIII is capturing only video, no audio in that RAW mode.

I would contend, though, that even if the ML hack becomes stable enough to run RAW on the 5DIII there are still several great use cases for the Blackmagic series of cameras.
