  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

EOS 5DmkII users rejoice!

Now if they could only allow removal the audio gain and allow different shutter speeds.

Here is a hacker who is working on the audio problem who has hacked the firmware...

I'm sure he'll be able to re-hack the new firmware to give audio control as well.

What are people using to get sound into it? I have a bunch of Beachtek interface boxes from my old VX1000 days laying around that I think I'll try.

BTW, just sent my 5d2 back to Canon for service after less than 1k exposures for ERR 20... should have it back in a few weeks, just in time for the firmware update.

Looks like full manual to me. Three bullet points outlining Aperture, ISO and Shutter control.

About to grab a body myself to go along with my GH-1's.
 
Yes!!!!

I guess I can stop buying Nikon lenses now... :sifone:

And thats exactly why they did it :)

My prediction is that 24p is never coming for this cam, that'll get everyone to buy another body

I think 24p will come. Rumor today is that the 60D will have 24p, so I think they would have to match that with a firmware update.
 
I dunno. 24P might be right around the corner. I do know someone that told me June specifically, but I didn't believe them at all. I should have.

might have to ask them what else they've heard.

Either way, nice.
 
Want a variety of frame rates and codecs with the 5dmk2? Look at the AJA Ki. I have high hopes for it.
 
Doesn't output the right image for an Aja Ki via HDMI.

But Hudson's still on the MKii firmware "adjusting".

Honestly, it would be incredible if he turned his attentions unto that facet. Live Fulltime HDMI output.
 
Isn't the functional shutter speed on the 5D2 fixed or maxed-out at something like 1/27th? How can you really have full manual control if you can't go faster than 1/27th or are they saying the shutter speed limitation was firmware not hardware?

Ouch.
 
Is that a serious ad? An 'EPIC' begins with...?
 
Full manual iso, shutter and aperture is pretty intense. Even with the 30p, this is huge. If 60D has 1080p, 24p and this manual and it's only <$1500, sheesh, that could take a big bite out of Scarlet sales

I'm not sure. They'll have to fix some of the issues with rolling shutter, Read/reset times, etc on the Canons. I've seen nice stuff from the 5D but I expect a lot more from the Scarlet, a lot more.
