Hey mate, mine arrived yesterday too.

How have you gone with raw files? Ideally, like 99% of the world, I want to edit them in lightroom. Have you found a workaround to convert to DNG? Or are you, like me, having to wait for the updated camera raw?

Hey Dylan
There only one way to deal with it this days until we get an update from Adobe /C1 - it's to covert the files thru DPP;(

My 5DIV is three days old. Last night after successfully shooting a ten hour wedding...it decided not to power on. Now I have a paperweight. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before, especially with Canon! I'm sure I'll be able to return it no biggie, but it's annoying that I'm going to have to dial in all those custom settings again

What's happened?

Sorry to hear that brother.
Have you used original battery with it ?

Just had 3 weddings this weekend and and after an about 10k on the shutter , all I can tell that the only problem is Adobe/Capture one codec support needed, otherwise - great performer !

Hi! I'm curious- what's your experience with the buffer? The reason I ask is that Bryan Carnathan has reported getting a much deeper buffer than specified by canon. Does that correlate with what you get?

If you do exactly what Bryan describes, then yes. But read what he says carefully: The lens cap remained on (insuring a black file and the smallest file size)

With the lens cap on I'm getting raw files of 26MB. The general photos I've taken so far range from 29MB right up to 56MB - the 56MB one being in the rain so lots of fine details.

Simplistically extrapolating from his numbers - 36 frames @ 26MB gives a buffer just under 1GB. If your photos happen to come out at 56MB then you'd be down to a buffer depth of 16 or 17 frames with this admittedly simplistic view.

The CF card has a hard limit at 167MB/s, you can't clear the buffer any faster than that. So to some degree the buffer depth depends on what your image contains and the depth, measured in number of shots, will vary.

For actual photos of something other than the inside of a lens cap I'm getting around the 22/23 mark with resulting raw file sizes around 38MB

At a guess, the buffer is somewhere around 400-500MB given how fast you can write the buffer to the card.

Righteooo, yes I read carefully what he did. That's what he almost always does in his buffer tests. I just kind of assumed that the manufacturer's specified buffer would have been best-case scenario, which apparently is not the case. It's encouraging to know their figures are a little more realistic than I expected. Done any tests to see what it's like in real life?
Cheers!
