In the Version 2.0.4 firmware, the following phenomena that occurred with the Version 2.0.3 firmware (which was to enhance the movie functions) have been corrected.
There was a phenomenon in which the manual recording settings made in C1/C2/C3 were changed and sound could not be recorded if manual sound recording was used in the C1/C2/C3 settings and the camera was subsequently turned off (or if Auto Power Off was activated). This does not occur in modes other than C1/C2/C3.
The Version 2.0.4 firmware includes the movie function enhancements listed in items 1 through 5 below, and also incorporates the correction listed in item 6.
Adds or changes the following movie frame rates.
NTSC:
1920×1080 : 30 fps (changed – actual 29.97 fps)
1920×1080 : 24 fps (added – actual 23.976 fps)
640×480 : 30 fps (changed – actual 29.97 fps)
PAL:
1920×1080 : 25 fps (added – actual 25.0 fps)
1920×1080 : 24 fps (added – actual 23.976 fps)
640×480 : 25 fps (added – actual 25.0 fps)
Adds a function for manually adjusting the sound recording level (64 levels).
Adds a histogram display (brightness or RGB) for shooting movies in manual exposure.
Adds shutter-priority AE mode (Tv) and aperture-priority AE (Av) mode to the exposure modes for shooting movies.
Changes the audio sampling frequency from 44.1 KHz to 48 KHz.
Fixes a phenomenon where communication between the camera and the attached lens is sometimes interrupted after manual sensor cleaning. (This phenomenon only affects units with Firmware Version 1.2.4.)

its how it’s supposed to be I guess
bought one yesterday (still a virgin: fw 1.2.4)
and doesnt do that either
Slow motion 1080 is just one step, the goal is far beyond that. The 36×24 format has a lot more quality in it than 1080. But the technological barriers are not small.
Get an assistant ;-). There is no plan to alter the fundamental photographic orientated lens/AF systems. However many photographers buy 4/5.6 versions of a lens there will always be demand for 2.8 versions. Iso performance and IS give photographers at least 4 stops more effective speed than when they were using film, they use it all. The 10lbs lenses are staying. The 2.8 sensitive systems will always be more factory tunable, faster and more accurate than the 5.6 sensitive systems.
Never mind 1080p – we need high enough resolution to take to Cannes! Or the AMC24 around the corner!
If you have the talent to back up the tools you own then it’s cool.
the MkIII would have to be pretty pathetic for something as minor as 720p60 to make ANY difference to ANY one as to whether they stuck with a MkII or went MkIII
seriously
if that is all they care about they get a 7D on a deal for $1100 rather than a MkIII
