I am glad to hear something is going on. The video mode is helping photographers to get video sequences where they would’nt get video material. Why not manual control? CANON ARE YOU STILL SLEEPING?

A videographer would buy a camcorder for his work. The Eos 5DMK2 isn’t in competition with camcorders.

Please help us doing our work with the best tool available.

“I can also log the audio levels as they are being sampled, which will make it possible to do on-screen level meters at some point in the future.”

Hey!!! Having the recording levels in a log side by side of a PCM audio (whatever the format is) could lead us to kind of “RAW audio” like “RAW image” format, so you can modify it later in kind of “SoundRoom”, like in “LightRoom”.

Mmmmh… by the way… how about a “RAW video” for movie recordings like “RAW image” format having the exposure, gamma and other “automatic suggestions” logged to be later adapted in a forthcoming “MovieRoom”?

Nikon people are complaining about no manual control as well, just not as loudly because even with manual control the video on the d90 and d5000 would suck.

so – since Canon in the eyes of some (many, thousands) is supposed to do upgrades they never comitted to for the 5D – can someone ask them to please also get the 40D community video plus manual controls – and for the 450D and, and , and ?
I guess I would ask for it as well if I had one – things for free are always nice. But I guess they are more focussed meanwhile on the 5D successor and the other models in the pipeline- which might or might not have this feature.

They don’t need to state a date or deadline for the release, but ignoring thousands of people interested and requesting it (by every way, everywhere, and at every event), it’s not a good attitude to the customers.

A simple announcement would make things lot more clear.

Even more, since they have already made a firmware update, so there wouldn’t be any reason why to hide that they are working on it and just testing to get it 100% ok, and then release it to their customers.
