“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.”

Guys, my source tells me this is definitely an external RAW RECORDING DEVICE of some kind. It does not go to CF cards at all.
As far as I understand it now, the “device” is a stand-alone recorder module that receives “uncompressed” sRAW data at 1080p from either the CF card SLOT (via some adapter cable I assume), or from HDMI, or both.
It’s possible that this recorder could even do 60fps if uses a very fast SSD, for example. Who knows, maybe the 1D4 will shoot high speed 60fps? I hope so!
We’ve also heard those rumors…
– MEANWHILE, WE KEEP CALLING CANON and doing their Survey
It really wouldn’t take much to make the DSLR video friendly. If they added a flip out to the side swivel LCD and some better audio features it’d be rocking, especially with all the new stabilizers, shoulder mounts and grips coming out from Redrock, Varizoom and the like. Redrock even has a follow focus attachment for DSLR lenses already. Prosumer camcorders are dead.
Yeah, even the sensors in Canon’s more professional (4-digit price range) camcorders are just 1/3″ in size, that’s even smaller than in most compact cameras. I can understand any videographer who drools over video-DSLRs…
1 terabyte hdd and you can record a lot ;)
