I'm guessing there's not a lot of 5D Mark II video users here, but who knows. Does this interest anyone?

Are there any 5D Mark II users period? I imagine there's more than a few wanabees.

Sweet!

Thanks for posting this Papa Bear. I downloaded the firmware and put it on my camera - it sure looks pretty functional! You can set ISO ( all of the speed range is available!) , aperture, and shutter. This should be great!

Wow, you guys must be psyched. Looks like everything you wanted. Now I lost my "I think I should wait for the next model" rationale....sigh.
