Kinda sucks to spend $5000 and the 5d II still beats it in ISO and Image quality.. haha

I’m hoping it will appear in a replacement for the XL series – soon. HDV is seriously limiting on a camera capable of so much resolution.

I doubt this CODEC is meant for SLR cameras.
It’s more like for a Handicam style video camera.

It would be cool if it was though.

Don’t get me wrong. I think the 5DII is a cute little camera for people who like to sit around in their double wide trailer homes taking photos of kitty cats. I just don’t think they need a high resolution video feature for that as they can’t afford the equipment it would take to view them properly.

5D Mark II, 7D and 1D Mark IV have almost the same potential regarding video. (Dual Digic 4 is to make possible faster on-the-fly noise reduction and faster burst mode, not for video)

So we all (1D4, 5D2, 7D) deserve improvements.

ALL the improvements we are requesting so hard and for so long to the 5D Mark II has directly benefited (and will) the rest.

That’s why it’s so important to join requesting.

But if you don’t have a flash attached?

A (very simple) fix to limit Av shutter speeds, AutoISO selectable values on “M” mode.. would be SO EASY and so helpful for lot of still shooters!!

Also an AutoISO limit on every mode is more than a “want”, it’s a NEED.

I could care less if that cheapo consumer 5DII gets a codec firmware update but Canon better make it available for their flagship professional Canon EOS 1D Mark IV. I spent $5000 bucks and I deserve the best!

Have you played around with the option in the menu system to change the way shutter speed with flash in AV mode is determined?

Does Apple still make computers?
How long has it been since they updated the 30″ ACD? 3 years?

Dr. Evil. I’m glas OSX does that out of the box.
I hated it also in windows.

Would that new codec be possible on the 5D? Would be nice!
Maybe pay for the upgrade and install the codec :)

I REALLY hope canon also keeps fixing the photography features.
Like the stupid shutterspeed minimum when using AV. It sets shutter to slow for sharp pics! No way to correct unless you go full M.
