2. Zebra support.
3. Maintain the exposure compensation between takes.

Then the world would be perfect. :-)
I assume the PC/Mac app for the 5D let's you create custom looks, e.g. saturation, contrast, color, etc. that you can later upload them to the camera. Adding all that, that's a great camera for $3k.]]>Jun 1st 2009 11:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/Jun 2nd 2009 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/Jun 2nd 2009 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/Are you really listening Canon?]]>Jun 1st 2009 11:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/Jun 1st 2009 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/Jun 1st 2009 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/Jun 1st 2009 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/

put it at the aperture you want, set the shutter to 1/30 or 1/60 or whatever you like. Then, set it at Auto-ISO. You really don't want a shutter speed changing all the time anyway. ]]>Jun 2nd 2009 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/
Unless you want some potentially horrible quality video with tons of grain, it would be best to manually set your ISO and leave either your aperture or shutter at auto. The effect is the same as 'aperture' or 'shutter priority'. The whole point of the exercise of getting manual control is to not set anything on 'auto'.

The problem now is that the camera is set once you're recording, unless this has changed with the firmware update.

U must be confused. We're talking about HD media (1080p, 720p, 1080i). Frame rate is a non-issue, technically speaking. Before HD there was NTSC 720x480 @ 29.97fps and PAL @ 25fps (don't recall exact pixel count). With HD we go to large pixel counts and usually 30p or 60i and for the arts folk 24p.

PAL is an SD only standard for broadcast.

Just like with NTSC, PAL is going out. You can take HD content and down res it to the appropriate resolution and change the frame rate if you really want to (not advised if not broadcast).]]>Jun 2nd 2009 7:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-update-with-manual-video-exposure-controls/http://hometheater.about.com/od/televisionbasics/qt/ntscpalframes.htm
