Re: Asking Canon Magic Lantern users, does run and gun work??

I only tried it once or twice with raw but I would hardly call it run and gun. I believe the framing may not be straightforward depending on the resolution you are recording. You'll also have to rethink your lens selection in many cases since some options are sensor crops. Nothing wrong with the sensor crops but you're going to need some UWA lenses to get a wide FOV.

I've seen the 5D3 RAW samples and they look pretty good but I haven't seen anything that I would call run and gun.

h.264 recording is easier to deal with but you're not going to get an IQ benefit in a lot of cases. You're just getting the added features, like focus peaking, etc...
