This image is actually from the 1D Mark IV. So does that cast some doubt on 60fps @ 720p being available in the 5D Mark II firmware update?
thanks Tom
Still 2010
The new firmware for the 5D Mark II will not only feature 24p, but there will also be a 720p @ 60fps mode.
I neglected reporting on this because I just figured that was a given. I've received numerous tips on this.

Agreed. We also included it in the List of FEATURES REQUEST:
http://5dmark2.wordpress.com/2009/09/28/5d-mark-ii-features-request/
(as told before to Erik) Call Canon, ask to register your Feature Request, they are taking them and are very nice people (even if you already called, you can do it again for another feature)
And you should mention you preferred 5D2 spending 1K more than 7D… good argument too.
P.S.: That is a VERY desired frame rate too, keeping good resolution (HD) while doubling the recording time….
That would be REALLY useful for lot of tasks…
Darn… I really wanted a reason to get the EOS-1D Mark IV!
great!
but when exactly?
could they be more specific about the releasing date?
first half of 2010 could be in 7 month!!!
As a landscape and event stills photographer, I am hoping that Canon remembers me and provides shutter speed limiting for auto-ISO, a feature that is on many point and shoots (e.g., my Panasonic DMC-LX3). With the unforgiving resolution of the 5DMK2 full frame sensor, I want to be able to limit my 16mm to 1/60th, not 1/10th, for example. And @Torban, I agree, autoISO in manual still mode.
