A recent release of the Magic Lantern enhancement firmware for Canon cameras allows raw video capture. Now you can shoot 3k raw video just like high-end cinema cameras. A converter changes the raw format to DNG which is compatible with edit suites. The quality is said to be excellent, rivaling other cameras like the Panasonic GH2. This is a breakthrough achievement for low-cost videography.

It's really nice that Magic Lantern has expanded the capabilities of so many Canon cameras. For this reason, among a few others, Canon is still a much better DSLR video choice than Nikon.

However, DSLR video is general is still a very special use format. Rolling shutter just kills it. Even 720p/1080p 60fps on the current bodies (2014) has too much errant motion to make a good camera. If you tripod mount it, and the subject is not moving too fast, it's awesome. Again, special uses only. It's not a general camcorder.

I wish this was not the case, but it is.

Maybe a perfect video DSLR will exist someday? We'll see. I'm guessing it won't exist for at least 5 more years, if ever. Video DSLR quality has not changed much in the past 5 years. The gains are always extremely minimal.

This was an unanswered question or unresolved issue found during a site audit. It's hard to have an FAQ when the answers are missing, or final outcomes are unknown. At The Digital FAQ support forum, questions are never intentionally ignored, and may have been missed due to a forum glitch or human error. More details on the audit.

Yes, you are right, as shown here:

You could try to do it in post, don't know much about it though

There's a new Go Pro camera with global shutter though for $4k
