I just wanted to go over some of the biggest limitations of the 5D and why I think this product is vital to everyone that shoots with the 5D Mark II
FOCUS PROBLEMS!!!
while monitoring focus from the HDMI output from the 5D Mark II it shows 1080 only until you start recording then switches to 480 which is very difficult to see enough detail to focus. I have had many shots ruined due to this limitation.
12 MINUTE LIMIT
When the 5D gets hot it shuts off while you are recording with not much warning (I think this is why they have the 12 min limit and the processor gets hot doing the compression.
COMPRESSION PROBLEMS
The compression that the 5D uses casues artifacts and moire where fine lines are in the picture. This also adds noise to the dark areas/shadows in your scene.
No More CF Cards
Having to copy from 5 different compact flash cards is a pain LOL
