actually.. nah, I don't care]]>Mar 18th 2010 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/Mar 18th 2010 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/Mar 18th 2010 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/download it here: tinyurl dot com/ycyggef

I mean, it was completely badass when it was released, and Canon has steadily improved it. 24p is nice; it's subtle but yes, a slightly more "filmic" look to the footage... watch your pans though.

I use an external audio recorder so this doesn't really effect me.]]>Mar 18th 2010 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/Mar 18th 2010 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/Mar 18th 2010 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/
Film is still different though, and I can see people preferring it for aesthetic reasons (though in like 30 years... there'll probably be next to no one using film). I think we are at the point though where w/ certain digital cameras/lenses, digital has it's OWN unique look that is somewhat filmic but at the same time something on its own. Before the original 5D, I had a hard time producing images I liked w/ digital cameras.]]>Mar 18th 2010 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/Mar 18th 2010 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/Mar 18th 2010 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/
They had said a few weeks prior to releasing this firmware that "720p won't be possible". I just can't believe that it took them this long to come out with this firmware and yet it's still full of bugs.]]>Mar 18th 2010 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/apparently overheating was a problem.
I'd still wish they had given us the 720p60 (or at least 720p30, takes less space) and warn about the overheating issue.
I don't do clips longer than 2minutes and the 720p60 would be great for even shorter clips just for better slowmo]]>Mar 18th 2010 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/I downloaded the file and thought better wait and see if anyone has problems with this.

on cinema5D.com forums there are reports of other bugs]]>Mar 18th 2010 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/
For now I just shoot in Manual mode with the audio in manual and it works fine. It's just a few more steps is all.]]>Mar 18th 2010 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-2-0-3-firmware-yanked-due-to-audio-issues/I shoot in Manual mode w/ audio in Manual and it works every time.]]>Mar 18th 2010 8:13PM
