Good news from Canon!

I sent Canon Inc Sweden an e-mail asking about a possible firmware update that will add 24 and 25 fps to my 5D Mark ii. This is the answer I got today Oct 20. First translated into English. Then in Swedish.

THE ANSWER FROM CANON SWEDEN TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH:

Hi Michael
Canon Inc are working on such an firmware update.
Regards
Roger

THE ANSWER FROM CANON IN SWEDISH:
Hej Michael
Canon Inc. arbetar på en sådan firmwareuppdatering.
mvh
Roger

MY MESSAGE TO CANON TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH:
Hello! Half a year ago I bought 2 pcs 5D Mark II. Since then I’ve hoped for an upgrade of the firmware so I can shoot with 24 / 25 fps. I have repeatedly tried to get answers from Canon on this update will be or not. It is equally important to know if it is not going to be any update as if there will be one! This information is vital to me as I use the camera for professional purpose. Canon don’t gain anything having irritated customers, so therefore I ask you once again for a clarifying answer. Yours sincerely …

MY MESSAGE TO CANON IN SWEDISH:
Hej! Jag köpte 2 st 5D MK ii för sådär ett halvår sedan. Har
ända sen dess hoppats på ett uppgradering av firmwaren så man kan skjuta
med 24 / 25 fps. Har flera gånger försökt få svar från Canon om en sådan
uppdatering kommer eller inte. Det är lika viktigt att veta om den inte
kommer! Använder man kameran professionellt så är denna information
avgörande. Canon vinner inget på irriterade kunder, så därför ber jag ännu
en gång om ett klargörande svar. Vänlig hälsning .

French arguments aside, any news on when we might see the new firmware from Canon?

Tribey – You are right, “full HD is Full HD” but the pixel arrangement of a full sensor vs a crop is very different. This in effect changes the quality of the video, especially in the 7d and how it handles shooting in high ISO.

hey there. I called up Canon Switzerland (that’s were I live) and they told me that Canon is NOT planing any firmware update that will allow 24/25fps on the Mark II. I also would like to add, that Full HD is Full HD. A smaller sensor does not change the quality of the video. Crop effect, yes… but no change in quality…

entiendo esa estrategia pero igual pienso que la novedad del video en DSRL pasará pronto. Los que saben de video preferirán una de video.

I don’t know why Canon is pushing people to get 7D for HD video. Look at the shear size of sensor the 5D2 has! It will certainly get better video. Give them 1080P@24fps, please. Maybe we can see better quality movie one day.

You know the French love the Americans because they stole the colors of their flag and used them in the French one!

This is sad because the OP was a joke. Not real. Sacrastic. Made up.

It is even more so because of your namesake and inability to understand any of this.
