Canon has issued a new Firmware v2.0.3(updated with v2.0.4 on 19th March) for its popular EOS Canon 5D mark II camera which adds more video options to make it at par with
Now 24fps frame rate at HD movie recording will be available just like 7D, or Nikon's all new Movie SLRs.
This is a special feature which creates smooth flow of frames and gives a Cinematic feeling just like Hollywood movies.
This 24 fps feature is available in many high end Video cameras but when this 24 fps combines with an DSLR, it becomes a super combination. Because DSLRs can create amazing effects like great "Depth of Field" "Change in Focus" etc. So it is a welcome feature for 5D II users.
