Spec Update
The 500D should have the following feature that were ommited from my first post on the subject.
AF will be in Movie Mode, it will be a contrast detection that performs as well as the 5D2.
I’m also told it may have a better liveview system and an articulating screen. I still have nothing definitive on those 2 features.
Lenses
I’ve been promised some lens information tomorrow, so stay tuned for that.
Photo T-Shirt Contest
Keep sending me pictures, I’d like another few entries!
The winner will be selected Sunday night.
I must confess to an embarassing thing
I didn’t realize the 5D2 had AF in movie mode until today. I never tried to do it when I’ve used the camera.

Nice. A good “working” movie mode will certainly sell a few cameras.
Any generous folk out there willing to DIGG This:

appreciate it :)
Wait….what kind of AF in movie mode?
When you push the AF-ON button during recordings it does a crappy back and forth “contrast detection” focus. Ever since I have been setting focus with the x10 live view then hitting record.
Yeah is this some automated AF? Of course, not that I would need that (ahem). I’d RTFM but I’m DUMB.
Any news on the lenses yet?
