I am happy of these video improvements, but when photo improvements? It sounds so strange that a 2.300 euro equipment does not let you set a minimum shutter speed in auto iso mode or set limits up and down for auto ISO... These are features really easy to add through a firmware update and competitors have it. Please read here and sigh it: http://www.petitiononline.com/Canon5D/ Thanks Nice, but does Canon remember that 5D II is camera first of all?

But more than 24P(which you can already convert with software from 30P to 24P), I am more interested in having 60P to allow me to slow down some action. If it allowed a faster frame rate than that for Super Slo Mo, this camera may never be outdone for a very long time. Sounds great.

I hope they fix other things with it, but I would really like to be able to be able to record 720p at 60fps as well. That would make my 5D fulfill nearly everything I need!

(as mentioned in http://5dmark2.wordpress.com blog long ago) It's probably being improved, but it looks like more a marketing strategy than a real technical reason. Would be great, and a smart move too, to include some other fixes/improvements in the same update, considering that this camera has HUGE potential inside. Anyway, thumbs up to Canon for this announcement, and also special thanks to all those people who helped in any way to achieve this. At least and at last Canon said something!
