Some of the complaints
“No audio in C modes unless I set my audio levels in one of the “creative” modes (M, Av, Tv, ) first and then go into my C mode of choice. Kinda defeats the purpose of having a C mode if I have to go to another mode first…”
“I have found the same thing. It only seems to work if you move from one of the other creative modes to a Custom mode. If you turn the camera OFF, then go to a Custom mode, turn the camera back ON, and then try to record Manual audio, you will get signal levels on your meters, but no audio is recorded.”

Dunno…. mine din have these problems. Audio works fine
I’m skeptical about claims of Jittery video in 24p, especially from those who are less experienced in videography and film-making. Compared to 30p, 24p has a certain hint of jitter and that is part of what provides the cinematic look. If you are experiencing “jittery” video in manual mode, post it to vimeo. I’d love to see it for myself.
For the record, my firmware upgrade works perfectly (I never use CS. Don’t even know what it is. Don’t care.)
I would agree if it wasn’t for the 550D which is the cheapest of them all and has 720p/60!!! Where is the official statement from Canon?
they’ve fixed it:)
