Bugs in the Canon EOS 5D-Mk II Firmware 2.0.3 release
Canon has announced there are some bugs in the 2.0.3 Canon EOS 5D Mark II firmware release!
The most important part as you can see in the image above is most likely this:
"We have learned that some users of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR camera are experiencing issues with Firmware Update Version 2.0.3.
We are working on a new firmware update to address these phenomena, which will be available soon."
Good Day! Z.
Canon firmware update to improve EOS-5D Mark II video recording
According to DCRP, Canon will release later this month a new firmware update for the Canon EOS-5D Mark II. The new firmware, version 2.0.3, will add 24p video acquisition and will lower the frame rate in 30p mode to 29.97 fps. As an extra the user will get manual audio control as well as a higher sampling frequency, also a live histogram and the ability to record movies in shutter and aperture priority modes.
I'm sure the EOS-5D Mark II owners are looking forward to the firmware release.

Betrayed, the short film shot with the 5D Mark II, trailer
Friend of mine and photography passionate showed me a nice short film trailer today. The film is called "Betrayed" and is shot with Canon's 5D Mark II Digital SLR camera.
On his blog, photographer Robert Caplin, who did the cinematography for the film, says:
I'm very excited to announce the launch of "Betrayed", a short thriller co-written and directed by Joshua Grossberg and starring Seth Gilliam (The Wire), PJ Sosko, and Cara Buono (The Sopranos). Betrayed, one of the first narrative works to be shot on the Canon 5D Mark II, follows husband and reporter James Vance (PJ Sosko) who mysteriously disappears, but not before leaving a cryptic video diary leading law enforcement to unravel the crime of his demise.
Betrayed was co-written and directed by Joshua Grossberg, who according to IMDB is also writer and producer for "A Bridge Life: Finding Our Way Home" documentary, following Katrina in September 2005.
What can I say about the short film from the trailer is that the images are incredible! And so they should, considering the great camera which the 5D Mark II is and most likely the nice lens sets that Robert Caplin and Joshua Grossberg could put together. Best if you watch it yourselves and make your own opinions on the matter (share if you dare).
