Hello...

Whats the latest about this... is All-I just better for native editing or is the images better too?

The image doesn't look any better. It just fills up the cards 3x as fast.

so it's not more information for CC/CG... it's still 4:2:0, but I hoped it would have a bit more info/frame.

Sorry I don't have a link to share for reference, but seems like I recall seeing where All-I performed better in low light/hi ISO situations showing less noise than IPB.

If I stumble across the comparison I'll come back and post a link.

It fills up the card faster but it is so much nicer to edit natively. I think the benefit to workflow far outweigh the added space.

I found a link too with the result that All-I is better in high ISO.
My NLE is Edius and the All-I works really nice... how is it in FCP7 (some of my clients still use it)?

Flawless in FCP7.

Premiere Pro edits native IPB files fine just as it did with 5D2 .MOV files. If you are using FCP7 then using All-I may avoid the need to transcode to ProRes.

I am missing the reference but it was once claimed that Canons use the most simple compression known to man. There are, say, 15 kinds and they use the worst. Now, it seems, there is a new form of compression that should be delightfully better. Right?
