Following the launch of the EOS 5D Mark II in September 2008, Canon’s Research and Development team has listened closely to customer feedback to develop additions to the camera’s movie recording functionality.
Allowing EOS 5D Mark II owners to achieve even more stunning video results with the camera, the firmware update will include the following manual controls when shooting video:
Full aperture selection
ISO speed: Auto, 100 – 6400 and H1
Shutter speed: 1/30th – 1/4000th second i]

What amazed me is the amount of information and skill that was acquired in using the the 5DII in as manual a way as was possible. i.e. Nikon lenses, partial disconnecting of pins etc. The camera certainly has a cult following and now the rest of us can use it too.

ahhhhh, thanks for the news. Great to hear.

BTW, I asked in the store where I bought my camera how much they charge for the 5DMII - the equivalent to US$5,500!
