“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.”

Adobe is working on CinemaDNG which of course is or will be available in Premiere & AfterEffects. It’ll be interesting to see if this will be added into Lightroom or if a new product will be developed to process these files, maybe something similar to Apple’s Color?
Here’s the link:

Canon makes it’s money through lenses. Delivering this product makes tons of sense. Undercut the competition and gain a whole new market for their already successful lens line.
100% acknowledge. But: “true cinema quality” equates APS-C. A 35mm still image is bigger than 35mm movie image (still image is lengthwise, movie image crosswise).
Ok, 70mm film again is different… ;)
The problem in the workflow will be what editing suites will work with the new codec. Look how long it took for AVCHD to get into all the editing programs? I’m guessing Edius will support it fairly quickly as Canon ships some AVCHD camcorders with Edius Neo, but we could be waiting a while for Adobe and Apple to add support for it. I supose they could provide support in Canon’s Digital Photo Professional and encode it to other formats for editing, but that would slow workflow down – I hate having to convert before editing.
Because they make a lot of money selling 7D/5D2 cameras and all the lenses and accesories that for camcorders which are sales you dont get selling camcorders.
The wet dream of videomakers has always been to get the film-look, and 24f and even 24p still looked like video even on the most expensive camcorder. In short, “real” camcorders suck compared to the look you can create with a DSLR.
