When it rains it pours. Mike Seymour just posted that Canon has announced a firmware update for the Canon 5D Mark II that will support 24p and 25p at 1920×1080. “We understand that EOS 5D Mark II users desire additional frame rates and we’re preparing a firmware update to allow the camera to shoot at both 24P and 25P,” said Chris Macleod, Brand Manager – EOS, Canon Australia. Canon expects the firmware update to be available in the first half of 2010 and will release more details as they become available. Whew . Read the full story over at fxguide .

Now featuring just one Ninja claw

When asked to describe shooting video with the Canon 5D Mark II , I responded that it was like being offered a backrub by a supermodel — who’s wearing Ninja climbing claws . In other words, it seems like a gift from heaven at first glance, but the actual experience is pain unimaginable. But still, you get to hang out with a supermodel… Today one claw has been removed. Canon announced and released a firmware update that enables manual control of shutter, aperture, and ISO in video mode. But we are still limited to 30p. No mention of 24p in the announcement. I’ve been accused of being a “fan” of shooting video with the 5D Mark II. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, what I said was “With 24p and manual exposure control this camera would be of use. Without those adjustments, it’s a tantalizing but ultimately frustrating curiosity to the DV Rebel.” So for the record, the Canon 5D Mark II is still not “of use” to DV Rebel filmmakers. (Unless your whole film is in 25% slow motion!) So, thanks Canon, sincerely, for listening, and for getting us what you could, when you could. But your work is not done. A camera that does not shoot 24p is not an acceptable filmmaking tool.
