1D Mark IV video?

| ->> Okay - I've read the mostly glowing reviews of Canon's ID Mark IV. These reviews all talk about the still images coming out of the camera. Has anyone shot video with this camera? Criticism? Praise? Ease of use? Quality? Any observations would be helpful. |

| ->> The 1DM4 is the first ever DSLR to shoot 24P, 30P, and 60P on a 1.3x chip. the quality is outstanding, the noise levels are amazingly low even at 3200 ISO. I love the camera and will likely sell off one of my 5DMII's because I will shoot a fair amount of video with the 1DM4. If your subject matter isn't moving, and 30P is enough for what you're doing, the %D still reigns supreme in my book, but as soon as you want to shoot fast pans, or snap transitions, you have to have 60P for that and the 1DM4 is just what the doctor ordered... |

->> Anybody else having issues with the recording stopping?
I set up my camera to record a sports practice on video, and found that it stopped recording at exactly the 12:45 minute mark. This happened three times.
Perhaps the camera couldn't write fast enough, or the card couldn't keep up?
Using a SanDisk Extreme III. 30 MB/S 32GB. Shooting at 1280 X 720 60fps.
The camera was running off the battery, so maybe overheating? But, curious as all three files were exactly the same duration.
Any ideas?
Thx! |

| ->> Robert, is the 1DIV limited to 4GB or ~12 minutes whichever comes first like the 5DMkII? I believe those were the specs on it, but I have only played with the video a little. |

->> Robert.
I should have looked at the spec before posting, according to DPReview, it's 4GB or 29m59s whichever comes first. |

->> Ahhh, there it is. Looked at the files, and each one is 3.99G, on the dot. Bummer.
Thanks for the help guys. |

->> Evidently it has something to do with video vs. still camera classifications for the European market. Because of this, Canon built in the 4G or 29.59 shutoff times.
Someone will write an overwrite at some point. |

| ->> It may have something to do with Windows' inability to handle files over 4GB. I discovered this problem moving large independent or completed video projects between my Mac and my Windows XP PC. 4GB is all windows can handle and Canon may have decided to adhere to Windows' restriction because otherwise Windows XP users, don't know if Vista or 7 allows you larger files, would be left out in the cold trying to transfer or ingest files larger than 4GB. Just a thought that came to my mind when I read this post. |

| ->> Isn't the limit because CF cards are formatted as FAT32, and it's FAT32 that has the 4GB limit. I think it's not a Windows limit, it's a FAT32 limit. |
