Many cameras shoot raw video - blackmagic, RED, kinefinity.
And even more (Sony FS, Panasonic EVA 1) with external recorders.
Almost all use SSD though for raw video - new SD cards have good enough speed but haven't been widely implemented - https://liliputing.com/2018/02/wd-demos-sd-card-880mb-s-speed-pcie-x1-interface.html https://liliputing.com/2018/02/wd-demos-sd-card-880mb-s-spee...
And the data rates for raw video aren't that high btw - redcode is lossless at 3:1 and visually lossless up to 9:1. CinemaDNG is about 3:1 - 4:1 (vbr).
My blackmagic pocket shoots 1080p/30fps RAW on a 90MB/s SD card and the camera is the size of smallest mirrorless.
I think the real reason we haven't seen more consumer RAW video is there isn't enough demand - which is a shame.
While I personally love RAW video for grading I'm looking forward to seeing how much dynamic range gets stored in 10bit HVEC footage, which I think will become very popular (because of HDR displays)
- gambiting 9y agoEven the article you linked says the new SD cards only do 430MB/s in testing - I'm afraid a full SSD is the only way to go for raw video.
- dharma1 9y agoNew UHS-ii cards do up to 300MB/s sequential write, blackmagic can record 1080p raw on them, could probably push more. For 4k Check BM Ursa Mini pro and Canon C200 - both shoot 4k raw internally to Cfast cards
