It is now official. The soon to be released firmware update will give us 24p/25p, live histogram, some better audio and that is about it. Sure it is great, but I guess I am not the only one who was hoping for more (as in 60p@720).
Still, I am an happy camper. On top of having a more film like look, 24p clips will take about 20% less space on my CF cards or be 20% longer.
Are we going to see another firmware update until the 5DMrkIII? I doubt it. The 5D has now evolved into a full cinephotographer tool and Canon answer to the Red Scarlet is probably going to come in some other form.
Gosh.. I’m so happy! Finally!
How soon will it be released? Do you know if FCE work with 24p footage?
Of course it will work with 24p!
“Of course”? I can’t figure out how to set up the ‘Easy Setup’ thingy to accept 30p, much less 24p. It seems to handle 30p all right when I drop some AIC files into the timeline and it does its altering of the project to match it. I guess that might work with 24p? I’ve read conflicting answers to that question in the FCE forums at Apple.com.
Hi!
I´am also looking forward to the new firmware update. But like others here I was hoping for a little more than 24p.
As you once posted, it can´t be really difficult to add some options like a bigger AEB 5-9 (or like you said the Auto ISO Stop).
I also wrote this to Canon (Germany) and they replied it will be considered in future… What ever this means!
Couldn´t you open up a new petition for this like you did for 24p? I would be the first who sign in!
Thanks!
