Stan you're right. The film hasn't been shot and they're still working on the trailer. But it seems that the first to 'claim' they have the 'first' gets all the glory (and they're in the right place and get the right coverage). The filmmaker himself has put the "first" moniker on it. Also note that the teaser was put up on vimeo 5 days, ago, but I think I was the 'first' to break the story on my blog this morning :)

i just got notice from apple that it ships today with arrival estimated as tomorrow! Yippee

yes, there have been tests and reports of success - check the 5d wiki status page for more info! http://is.gd/9pTe

And when in the last xx years hasn't the stock fallen? Ok, once, after the iPhone announcement. This is a non-story

@RyanTV and engadget - this black dot issue is totally overblown! It isn't impacting anyone in real life. Sure, it can be seen every now and then, but it isn't causing the headache that people blew it up to be. Just come look at all the samples at the 5d wiki (http://planet5d.com) and you'll see that people are creating some incredible stuff.

The 5d mk ii is indeed a wonderfully fun camera - thanks for the reviews -- we've also got samples and more on the 5d wiki - planet5d.com

you make it sound like Canon isn't going to do anything with your story - they clearly state a new release of the firmware is coming...

"We are currently investigating and analysing the causes, and examining measures to reduce or eliminate these phenomena by providing correction firmware. An announcement will be made on www.canon-europe.com as soon as measures have been determined."

I've only had my 5d mk ii for 4 days, but I'm not experiencing any problems - already several hundred great photos with maybe 40 short movies. These are not stopping people from making great photos/movies with this wonderful camera.

Read more and see lots of samples on the 5d wiki - http://planet5d.com

Had an invisibleShield on my iPhone, but then had to have the phone replaced due to mic issues - now I'm naked... need case! Would accept either case but red is my color - pick me please?

Yikes! Thanks - I've repaired it.

I'm so excited by this news! I cannot wait for this camera to be delivered to my door! The potential of this camera with its video and low light capabilities is so great that I created a wiki for the 5d. People have been collecting video and still samples from around the world that is very helpful to anyone thinking about buying the mk ii or wanting to see what it can do... http://planet5d.com
