BECAUSE YOU CAN\'T USE FLASH with video, it is often desirable to use wide apertures instead. No flash, therefore available light. That is why the absence of an EFS 15mm f1.4 limits the appeal of the 7D\'s video capabilities for me. Notwithstanding the absence of 24p, a 5D2 with 24 f1.4 is a far more potent low light video rig, because it\'s a great focal length for general video use and especially hand-holding, and it can see in the dark (i.e. without flash by necessity!).
It\'s probably not quite as fast as you\'d like (two stops slower), but I\'ve been reading rave reviews about the new Canon 17-55mm F2.8 EF-S lens. Apparently they are close to razor sharp even wide open.
Canon is going to sell a ton of these lenses to the video folks.
