“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.”

I forgot to mention. The same source claims that the 5D2 will get a firmware update “to match the 7D’s framerate and resolution.”
Obviously I have no idea if this is true or not, but it makes sense that if Canon is making an sRAW recorder for the 5D2, they would give it 24p.
Exactly – I don’t want a bigger camera. I just want a DSLR with a couple more audio features and maybe a 2 card memory system so I can keep rolling.
And anyone who says “you can’t get serious work with the 5D” needs to wake up and keep up with the rest of us before we leave you behind along with IE 6.
or they can stay asleep, more for us! lol
I’d be happy with someone at Canon getting off their arses and write bit of file splitting code so we could record up to the card size and not be limited by fat32 4 gig file limit. If Marantz can do it, so can Canon.
merry x-mas :D i hope its true!
.. maybe we will know more on 29. september
We were already told something similar months ago, so I guess you are probably right.
Canon is possibly thinking on competition with some RED models.
