Cue the people with a Nexus phone in their pockets complaining about using some obscure movie clip for the sound clip ;D

For anyone that can't get to planet5d (maybe you're blocked), I found this:

Video from planet was interesting; coming to the 60D it says

Hey, I have a Nexus One in my pocket, and I take offense to you calling Blade Runner an obscure movie. ;D

I should have put 'obscure movie' in quotes or italics. Of course it's not obscure, but the 'andriod' reference is lost on a lot of people these days.

Curious - with a Z-finder - could you now use the Picture in Picture, with fast glass to actually nail wide open shots more easily? Basically not use the viewfinder, instead, the live view, with an adjustable PiP?

If it was dark enough for the 5D to hunt, could this actually be a quicker way ?

 

[wickidwombat]

did they put the exposure bracketing and other still features back?

looks quite a bit tidier than the last 2 that came out i wonder if its stable
any idea when it will be available?

Ok, I've patiently waited for over a month now. Does anyone have a status update on this being made publicly available? Are they close? I can wait, but not knowing is killing me!
