Quick question is it possible if Magic Lantern hacks the 5d mark iii can it improve the lines in a video?( like the gh2).
I am still not clear about how many lines the 5d mark iii has some say 700 others 800? If anyone can elaborate this for me it would be much appreciated.
it is an estimate. you can read more about it here and other various entries on his site.
http://www.eoshd.com/content/7631/panasonic-gh2-vs-5d-mark-iiithe point being, the 5DmkIII, because of the way it samples to reduce moire, smudges fine details and produces a softer image than competing cameras that shoot close to true 1080p. the comparison is made that the video looks like upscaled 720p in the level of details regardless of the codec used (and it is often the best, all-I codec that is used)
You can get *some* detail back using sharpening, but as with stills, you can't gain resolution by sharpening and you always risk creating artifacts and other undesireables if you're not selective. IMO having to wedge shapening at the right levels on every frame of footage is going to be a major PITA.
I asked this question on vimeo but wanted to ask here. What picture style is he using? Also, does anyone know the compression he used was is ALL-I or IPB. Im having the hardest time trying to find decent information without people getting into a huge discussion and debate over how the Mk2 was better.
All-I.
