Can VDSLR’s be far behind? – Canon pro [HD video] cams record 4:2:2 1080p to flash | Electronista

If Canon can get HD video out to CF cards at ProRes 4:2:2 for their video cameras can the same feature really be far behind for a VDSLR? I don’t see this as a firmware upgrade but I suspect that the 1DS or the 5D3 might do something similar. Now if Canon would just put the 7D sensor into their video cameras we could all go home!

Canon’s turn at NAB launches was headlined today by two pro-grade camcorders. The XF300 and XF305 both use Canon’s XF Codec to capture 50Mbps, 4:2:2 1080p video and store it directly on dual CompactFlash cards. The output gives it twice as much color resolution compared to regular HDV and should also be a widespread standard with Apple’s Final Cut Studio, Adobe Premiere, Avid and other editing suites.
