Finally! Canon announced that a firmware update for the 5D Mark II, my main camera, will be made available in June that will allow the user to manually control the exposure when in Video mode. I think that this update is going to be a major step forward in the use of the 5DII as a combination camera, shooting both stills and video. After I apply this firmware update to my camera, I have a feeling that I will be using the video mode a lot more than I do now. I was thinking about purchasing a consumer grade camcorder to explore the realm of videography this summer. That thought has now left my mind after this announcement, because soon I will be shooting 1080p video with 35mm depth-of-field. Oh yeah, I'll also be able to shoot 21.1mp stills at the same time! Life is going to be good come June. Thanks for a great Birthday Gift Canon!
