5d mark ii1 - 5D Mark II Firmware
Firmware Coming?

I've been told we may not be getting a firmware update this month like reported a little while ago. It is claimed Canon is working on one, it's just not coming in the immediate future.

It's still guesswork as to whether or not the movie mode will get some manual love. I'm getting conflicting stories.

I'm waiting to hear from someone in particular that will give me a better idea.

  1. if you believe that it would be a big project to at least just add Av mode or even M mode to video then they have succeeded in suckering someone. it’s an absurd claim.

  2. maybe my new body will be Nikon then. Just saying….
    as someone said fool me once, but not twice. Canon marketing can do what they want and toy around with their customers and we can also do as we want and walk away to other brands….

  3. agreed, but they still don’t quite seem to get it.
    sure they have our money and the marketing dept. is clinking glasses. but maybe a year from now when we are too disgusted too stick with canon and nikon has the same high MP sensors with low noise all the people who have gotten too annoyed by their games will leave. already at the sidelines you certainly see more and more nikon.

  4. It’s a shame they don’t give us manual control. They advertised the movie feature like crazy so why not deliver?

    As mentioned many are using non-Canon lenses to have manual aperture control. However I really love Image stabilizer so I’m affraid I have to stick to Canon lenses… (for less than 50mm I use M42 lenses though)

    We paid a lot, we have one major complaint and all they do is…… MAYBE release a new cam which means ANOTHER investment by us?? ugh.

  5. I really hope they add the 25p!
    it s simply not fair for us european customer!(we paid the same price…)
    i m very very disappointed with Canon!
