@asinlov it looks like that gap among what appears semi pro and pro is little now. d7000 is perhaps all many of us want. check out... freedslr . com remove spaces and take a chance to bring home completely new Nikon D7000

This camera is so good that movie studios are now using it for shooting some scenes e.g. "Up in the Air" starring George Clooney used it for their scenes while on the airplane. Indie films are also using it.

Gimme one good reason why I should get rid of my 5D to get this Mark II.. Canon just made a big misstake with building the 5D which is still a perfect cam. There's nothing that will be able to replace it yet. Unless you wanna look cool.

no 25 fps = fail.

[IdiotsGon3Wild]

There's a new firmware version that fixed it

ya wish thay would drop the stupid video function. Any one who is geting this level cam thay are not gimiky kinda people you would think. I say consentrate on dinamic range and frames per sec

i really want this. i still got my crappy 20d which is a good semi-pro camera. but i hate the tiny screen. its so hard to see if your picture is noisy or a little blurry with the screen size it has. and i havent taken much with it cause i never really took photograpy in until the beginning of summer. but i had my 20d since it came out. and it probably has less than 10k shutter accusations...so looks like im probably not getting this...maybe when mk3 comes out. haha

I wasnt querying why it recorded a certain amount of time :) File and card size is obviously a factor... I was querying why the guy in the video quoted a different length of time to the official specifications on the canon website...

[deojett]

because of the definition and you can only put a cm card of 4g top thats why

[stubones]

On Canons website it states that the camera will record a max of 29m33s... why the discrepancy?

[loco039]

Thanks I solved my problem.

You need latest version of Flash player.

Anyone can help me with this:

why I can`t watch any videos in you tube?

[fzinggl]

Looks like i am getting one..

[redpinto]

i can do without the HD movie. why have a movie function when people can't shoot great photos aways? have they improved the sync speed of the camera when using strobe packs? syncing only at 125 is not versatile. weird.
