outstanding news from the largest camera maker on the planet + something that huge numbers of us out in the field have been pulling for. canon is introducing the first ever full frame DSLR with manual exposure video control in june. this includes aperture, shutter + ISO. absolutely fantastic. and making the deal even sweeter it’s a simple firmware update for the 5D mark II.

if you’ve had the pleasure of shooting with this beast then you know the frustration that video provided in terms of manual control. there were of course workarounds but there’s nothing, regardless of the field, like manual control. in it’s current state it’s a bit like working with handcuffs on – really nice handcuffs but limiting nonetheless. can’t wait to kick out new work with this new package.
