New 5D mkII firmware

[SteB]

The much leaked and anticipated 5D mkII firmware as been announced, although I don't think it will be available until another week or 2. It adds different frame rates to the video, a live histogram in video mode, an upgrade to the audio quality, and adjustable audio levels. The new video frame rates include 1080p 24fps (actually 23.976) and 25fps.

Lets hope they manage to sneak in the 720p - 50/60 fps

hope more coming 25fps is useful too

only just seen this, cheers stephen!

720p/60fps would be a nice addition. Even if they only used part of the sensor.

Apparently some people have experienced problems with the new firmware and Canon are seeking to fix these problems. So if you've not installed it yet, I would hold off installing it until these issues have been fixed.
