p.2 #1 · 5D mkII firmware is out....now

Still no improved AF, improved weather sealing or pop up flash - will Canon get round to these on v2.04?

I was able to get it to sync with iTunes 9. So eat doggie duty 7D shooters!

If it's too slow on Canon site, you could download from here.

What happened to the 720p, 60fps that was supposed to be released with it also? I was looking forward to being able to shoot 60fps

I'm not mad or anything that it wasn't included, I just "remember" it being listed in the original Canon announcement.

It's the blur that makes it look like film. The HD and DOF on DSLR will blow away those very expensive film equipments.

35mm movie cameras use a standard exposure rate of 24FPS.
Shooting 24FPS at 1/50 creates motionblur similar to shooting at a 180 degree shutterangle, which is the most common in movie indutry.

-but those are just 2 of the factors that make up the "film look".

Don't think Canon ever mentioned it. There was just speculation because the functionality was in the 7D.

Installed it last night. Works as advertised. Bummer about no 720p, 60 fps tho.

Never-the-less, a big "Thanks!" to Canon.

Cheers!

I have the same issue; "io: fork exception" and the file won't extract. Any ideas?
