“A little birdy just whispered something pretty remarkable into my ear. I cannot verify this AT ALL but rumor has it that Canon may be prepping to unveil a RAW or sRAW recording module for the 5D2, 7D, etc, which would record possibly via the CF card slot. Apparently they are being tested and used now.
Will post more details later if I get any. Don't know about framerates or RAW vs sRAW. And again, this is totally unconfirmed, from a single “high-placed” source.”

Yeah, think about all the processing it would take to go through 30 full-sized uncompressed frames per second. Not gonna happen.
Check the latest Magic Lantern developments – getting close to full HDMI output on the 5dm2.
The problem with uncompressed video, especially uncompressed 1080p HD, is most workstations can’t handle the editing even if the software can “open” it because the through put is massively intensive. I’ve done it on various systems, and even quad core machines struggle with uncompressed SD, HD is way more so, without very fast RAID drives, tons of ram, and a dedicated video editing board such as Matrox, Blackmagic or Grass Valley. You can forget laptops.
It’s also unclear what this rumor is describing, whether it is uncompressed or something like RED’s Codec, but even then you really need the RED Rocket board to edit 4K in real time – a nice $4750 add-on to your system.
We’ll see.
Not without a dedicated board like RED Rocket for the RED Codec.
Oh good! I was hoping he’d get that going.
