Using the AJA System Test utility, with a setting of 1080HD 10-bit with an 8GB file size, I'm getting write and read speeds of about 800 MB/s.

Did you consider bypassing the port multiplier to get a faster read/write (at the expense of the second sas port on your MacPro)? Amazing, I can’t wait to make one! What kind of speeds do you get?

Sometimes it sneaks it in there on installation. Weird, I know. Otherwise you can drag-and-drop it from another computer and works like a charm.

Tried to get rid of it and reinstall 7. Downloaded QT7, went through the installation process and it said Installation Successful! Then went to Applications folder and no Quicktime 7. I know this isn't a support forum, but I just wanted to report it - of course, it could be an Apple conspiracy, who knows?

And only your third one ever? You're off to a great start! You've been doing your homework! ;-) Cool backpack and I like the guy's jacket for that matter. The VAF-5D2 filter would definitely help the footage. You can really see the straps dancing at 2:16-2:18. Would all be gone for sure. Nice video! And only your third one ever?

As mentioned above, you need to dial in what deployment resolution you're targeting, then down-scale for that via rendering. Any real-time scaling, whether it be Vimeo, YouTube, your computer screen, FCP Canvas window, or whatever, is going to have inherent aliasing on real-time playback, which is what you initially saw. I'm planning on uploading a 720 HD and 480 SD samples of the same video as well as soon as time permits. No problem.

I am debating if this is worth the $400 or just deal with the output as it is.. the format will only be web use. http://vimeo.com/33203153 Any advice would be helpful about the moire issue or any way to improve these bag review videos.. this is only the 3rd video that I have shot ever. THANKS. Do you think the filter will fix the moire problem that I am having shooting nylon bags in outdoor settings.

That was the problem. Upon viewing full frame 1080 it is subtler. Although it does bring up an interesting issue when you are doing web stuff that is not meant to be played in the manner. :D Thanks Marco. That was the problem.

Without viewing on such a monitor, you will NOT see the difference you're describing. If you're viewing at anything less than 1080 HD, you will not see a big difference. The difference is huge actually. In fact, comparing the anti-aliasing from a normal 1080 HD video camera, like our EX1, the results of this with the 5D2 are just as good, if not better than our EX1.

On close viewing I see unacceptable moire in both the WITH and WITHOUT shots of the speaker grill. Are you not seeing this as well? By your enthusiastic review I thought it would be eliminated. It still looks very bad to me. FYI I own the 5D and just accept this as one of its limitations. I wouldnt pay almost $400 for what I see it not doing in your attached video.
