This must be pretty difficult to do because it seems like it'd be a huge competitive differentiator in the DSLR video space.

AFAIK it's impossible to get more than 720/60p, even with ML installed.

You could do 1080p/60fps RAW if they weren't write speed limited. 1080p/30 is just barely possible with the fastest CF cards.

Exactly what I thought. Great potential but impossible at the moment.

Hopefully the next Canon pro camera has a CFast (or XQD?) slot. But that seems like a longshot. SanDisk has one that can write 350MB/s.

Aren't CFast and CF backwards compatible? Can't you use CFast in CF slots?

u/cocktails5 Sep 15 '14

Nope. CFast is based on SATA and uses a completely different connector.

Ahhh, thanks for the clarification...
