Thanks so much for the detailed reply, appreciate that. I’m all about doing extensive testing before the actual shoot, but in this case I don’t really have the opportunity to actually ‘screen’ the footage to make a comparison. I agree with your thoughts on scaling up raw 720 from magic lantern as opposed to just going with the 1080 h264 as far as what I can see on the monitor etc., but without actually seeing it on an actual size screen its hard to say how the resolution would be affected. Would the absence of compression in the 720 magic lantern footage make up for the h264 artifacting in the full 1080 shots?
Actually, I’ve been thinking of just holding off for awhile until I can jump into the 5DmkIII and not even have to worry about using anything less than the full 1080 raw.
