I'll never own this camera ($35k). I'll likely never see this camera, unless I go to a trade show or something. But I do like seeing the introductions of technologies of note:

C700 has a 4K sensor (http://www.the-digital-picture.com/News/News-Post.aspx?News=18869) with a global shutter.

Pretty cool. It is interesting, but the time needed to "read" each line of the sensor a rolling shutter on the 1DC is 25 ms (https://www.cinema5d.com/global-vs-rolling-shutter/), which doesn't seem long, but is 1/40th of a sec. It will be interesting to see how this tests out. See if the global shutter really does freeze action as well, or better, than a mechanical shutter.

I am pondering 100 fps of 4.5k Raw. WOW that is a ton o data.

I am pondering 100 fps of 4.5k Raw. WOW that is a ton o data.

From Canon USA:
---------------
Total Pixels
Approx. 11.54 megapixels (4622 x 2496)
Number of Effective Pixels

Approx. 8.85 megapixels (4096 x 2160):
When 4096 x 2160 or 2048 x 1080 is selected as the resolution

Approx. 8.29 megapixels (3840 x 2160):
When 3840 x 2160 or 1920 x 1080 is selected as the resolution

RAW Recording Pixels 4512 x 2376 (with March 2017 update)

------------


Going with 4,512 x 2,376 = ~10.7 MP. Assuming higher ISO (25,600) approximately doubles file size. Call it 20 MB/frame....so 1,000 to 2,000 MB/sec

Considering current still cameras are moving ~250 MB/sec...CFast (SATA 3) currently peaks around 500 MB/sec (theoretically capable of more)....yeah, that is moving some data.
