The codec on the 7D, while cumbersome, also would seem to be more efficient (greater image quality per given bitrate). Am I incorrect about this? If you have the means or patience to deal with the 7D output codec, wouldn't it's codec potentially offer higher-quality source footage versus the EX1's codec? My anticipated 7D workflow is to edit the native output in FCP with a Nvidia 9400M Mac (accelerated h.264 for cuts-only editing), export a lossless edited version, and then process as normal.

The new chip sounds nice. Still waiting for RED's October 30th announcement though. J. “Shame no 50mbs or 4:2:2 but wasn’t expecting it”

I think what has been holding them back is their desire to be seen as a "proper" DSLR maker and having more to lose in the Pro Video front. The Alpha 900 is a nice camera but it doesn't even have true liveview and its not as strong in low light as its Canon and Nikon equivalents. SXS gives them a lot more headroom than CF to support faster/bigger formats but it also means that the camera would probably need to be up against 1D's and D3's pricewise. That would leave Panasonic in an difficult position, having pretty much abandon their DSLR ambitions, they don't have the system support that Sony does. So we have Panasonic with out a DSLR system and Nikon without Pro video experience.....interesting?

I'm not sure if this is something new or if I just never noticed it before... anyone else encounter that?
