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:

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.

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