Comments on: 5D Mark “Free” http://www.canonrumors.com/2009/05/5d-mark-free/ You gotta know Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:59:42 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Alfonso http://www.canonrumors.com/2009/05/5d-mark-free/comment-page-1/#comment-10225 Alfonso Tue, 26 May 2009 20:54:20 +0000 http://www.canonrumors.com/?p=2026#comment-10225 I'm beginning to suspect that Canon is never going to give us 5DMkII users manual control and 24p, it's already been 6 months since release. I really hope I'm wrong, but I think the reason is that it would directly compete with their XL series. If that's the case, I wish the best for you engineers who can safely hack it for us. I doubt 24p is an easy hack since it's a codec issue, but manual controls over shutter, aperture and iso in liveview mode should be within reach hopefully. I personally use external audio solutions so this update in particular is not that interesting for me, but still very cool to know that you are able to hack it. Thanks!

But if they succeed without any consequences using this hack, awesome!!! i am pretty sure Canon is having a close look on that project and i hope that Canon is reacting to this with a original Canon solution.

I do wish he had started with the visual aspects of the video first, rather than the audio, since I am all but half deaf This is pretty nifty.

Impressive. I have no idea how one would go about installing an extra layer of software on top of the firmware, but I like it! Does this mean we'll have open-source cameras one day? Maybe the Canon L-series will indicate Linux compatibility :) That is very cool! Impressive.
