Well… 24P is the big one… but coupled with that is an absolute must for 48th shutter lock while in 24P. Got to have the 180 degree shutters.

I’m so happy about this and can’t wait to update my firmware. Great news about FCP7 too but how did you know? I am really gagging to find out more about FCS3 but will have to wait till Snow Leopard I’m sure. I have been counting on it arriving next month? Any ideas on arrival dates?

Kaveh.

Just FYI: AVC is just another name for H.264 (aka MPEG-4 Part 10), just like AAC is just another name for the MPEG-4 audio format. AVCHD is the H.264 codec used with an MPEG-4 movie at higher-than-SD resolution, hence AVCHD.

I believe iMovie can edit this format already. Just because FCP adds it doesn’t necessarily mean it will be any less processor intensive. It’s a long-GOP codec like MPEG-2 / HDV except that it’s a much more advanced codec and therefore much more intensive to rebuild the missing frames on the fly.

Yess finally! Is it possible they can fix the wobble issue in a future firmware? or do we always get a 5d m2 with wobble?

[...] out with a 24p firmware upgrade for the 5D MkII that may or may not give you better manual controls (manual control now confirmed with launch of 2nd June firmware!). But even with this, these DSLRs still can’t replace proper video cameras. They are great tools [...]
