Hi everybody, I just found this "holy and blessed" site some time ago and I'm very excited about the idea of see the true video capabilities of our nikons.
I'm a d800 owner, after a 7d and a 5d mark II I've chosen to come back to the origins (my first dslr was a d40) cause I was tired of the canon's softness, look and colour, especially on video. And I was happy of my choice, I really love the more "cold and sharp" nikon look but I must say, two months after my switch magic lantern came out with the raw hack, and the regrets started. They made a real magic turning a super muddy-soft camera like the 5d mark III, with a very average sensor and dynamic range, into a professional monster camera, almost on pair with super high end models.
So my hope now are people like you, I can barely imagine what a sensor like the d800 one could do with a raw hack, it would be a real revolution, a new start for video shooters. I'm wondering why nikon is not thinking about this opportunity, I think they could easily fix the problems there are and give us a simple firmware update with all the features we want, raw video mode included. And it would be the beginning of the nikon absolute kingdom, their cameras would be the most wanted and sold, so why nikon, why don't you want to rule?
This opportunity now is in you hands, dear nikon hacker people, you could change the world in the near future, well, the "video side " of the world at least!
So keep going, I'll do some tests with this new hack very soon and I'll post here the results, I hope to help, I'll donate something soon too, as soon as I get more money,I want to be part of this little and silent revolution that (perhaps) is coming!
And sorry for my english, I'm italian!
