^does the huge vignetting dissipate at smaller apertures?

I presume he has his editor set to add it automatically on export.

your camera is broken, I'll give you £100 for it. Nah what's happening here is your camera is flashing while the shutter is still moving, because your shutter speed is faster than the flash sync speed, set it to 1/180 and it should be perfect.

I think it's 240fps, and there's an 8(?) second limit?

definitely no expert, but I enjoy taking a crack at these nonetheless http://imgur.com/ZzrCuMv

I can't see the noise increasing, the shutter would obviously faster so perhaps they meant you'd have to increase the iso as a result, thus more noise? the bits per frame(is that right) (if it's still 28mbps at the slow motion modes) will be less though.

In hindsight I'm probably not the best one to be answering this, I'd wait until somebody who actually does own one chimes in. Are you needing it for broadcast? Degrade in what way? Here's an example anyway. Sorry I'm not much use.

What specifically do you want to know about it? I don't personally have one but know several people with them. It's the kind of purchase that you should know everything about if you need one.

I believe you can only autofocus at f/8 with the 1D bodies(and some bodies with center point only, but I'm not sure which). I'd probably just get the 1.4 anyway.

Indeed it is, there was a version 1 on eBay at £580~ at the same time I was about to buy the version 2, which made the decision all the harder, but I felt like the shorter focus distance and apparently increased IQ(surprisingly decent at f/1.2 I've found) was worth the extra £120, making it by...

uh-oh: to go on nex 5 and in future a7.

Does anyone know if you can power the camera through the charging port while using it? if so, do you need a 7.2V power supply? or alternatively does the constant power supply simply slow the drain of power from the battery?

This might not be much use, but I know you could with a pro(sloped) ICU

the old one performed well wide open from what I've seen, the only flaw was reported autofocus issues, if they fix that then nothing else comes close.
