Canon has announced the development of a firmware update for its EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR. The new firmware is expected to be made available for download in the first half of 2010.

Press release:

London, 20 October 2009 – Canon today announces that it is currently developing a firmware update to the EOS 5D Mark II to enable the recording of high definition 1080p video at 24 and 25fps. The decision to develop new firmware to support these features has been taken following feedback received from cinematographers and photographers.

Introduced in September 2008, the multi award-winning EOS 5D Mark II was the first DSLR product to offer full frame 1080p HD video recording, opening up a multitude of new creative possibilities for photo journalists, news photographers and amateur filmmakers. Since then, Canon has continued to develop its groundbreaking EOS Movie functionality, firstly with the firmware update to the EOS 5D Mark II that enabled manual exposure control, and more recently by introducing a choice of video recording frame rates with the EOS 7D and EOS-1D Mark IV.

Canon currently expects the firmware update to be made available during the first half of 2010. An announcement regarding details of the update and its availability will be made closer to the release date.

Canon has announced the long-awaited successor to the EOS-1D Mark III. The EOS-1D Mark IV features a totally new 45-point autofocus system that’s claimed to fix all the issues reported with its predecessor, and has been extensively tested by professionals prior to launch. The new model also sports 10 fps continuous shooting, a new 1.3x crop (APS-H) 16.1 megapixel CMOS sensor and 1080p HD video capture. Like the recently announced Nikon D3S, the EOS-1D Mark IV pushes the sensitivity barrier with a top rating of ISO 102,400.

It is here!! The first thing that I did this morning was checking if the new firmware is already available. And it was, like they say it would be. GO CANON! So I updated my 5D and it works like charm! The full manual movie control is now there with some other fixes like disabling  the DOF preview button while viewing photos on the screen (which is a huge benefit for me, because when you were holding the 5D and reviewing photos you were likely to press the DOF button and the display shut off.) and some other stuff. You can download the new firmware (1.1.0) from this official CANON page. Happy filming !!!

p.s. I just realised that this is my 101 post on this blog  

Med našim potepanjem/surfanjem na Fuerteventuri smo zasledili res noro izvirno zadevico Hranilnik (šparovc po domače) v obliki Surf kombija (se še spomnete starega WV kombija? dodajte mu surf na streho in valove na obali). V Sloveniji jih do sedaj ni bilo mogoče dobiti. Tako se je rodila nova stran Surf Kombi, kjer lahko naročite velike in male surf kombije ter ostala zanimiva darila.
