They just may...have a look at this:

YouTube - Createasphere - Canon Intensive Workshop - Canon EOS HD Video: Shoot, Post and Deliver - Playback

I can't tell whether he is saying the other cameras have that option, but they are adding 24p to the 5D, so collectively, the cameras will have those options, or if he is saying the 5D will have 60p too... would love it.

It sure sounded like the 5D2 would get the same framerates as the other cams.

It sure does sound like it... but there was a little bit of editing in there, so who is to say that they weren't talking about the 7D? Ohhh... I can only wait and hope my 5D gets 24p and 60p...

Glimpse of new firmware for the 5d mark ii
 

GLIMPSE OF NEW FIRMWARE FOR THE 5D MARK II

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUsNN...layer_embedded

Don't understand.. I didn't see anything...

It's Tim Smith of Canon USA with an overview of their HD-capable Digital SLR product line.

...and for those who can't be bothered to watch the whole video... he briefly mentions the firmware upgrade (the one earlier this year) and that 24p is coming in 2010 to the 5DMkII, right at the end (but you all knew that already, right?)

Yeah, it's a brief mention near the end about new menu option in the 5D Mk. II which shows the new frame rates (24p, etc.).

we getting some 60p at 720p up in here?

5dMKII menu options includes 24p ,720 60p and SD mode also 25p and 720p 50p are there, you just need to select PAL instead of NTSC

I have watched that film a few times. I am not so sure that screen is showing the 5D frame rate selection. In listening to his words, I can't be sure he isn't lumping the three cameras all togeter as a group and then referencing that between them you have the available frame rates..... I hope the 5D upgrade will include 60 p. but, I am not seeing this as confirmation yet.

I agree, Chris. I watched it several times too.
It sure sounded to me like he was talking about the options availble in the "Canon VDLSR Family" not the 5D specifically.
I'm sure we'll get 24&25P, and if we get more, I'll be thrilled. But right now, I'm thinking the the 60P is only going to be on the 1D and 7D.

SURE hope I'm wrong. I'd be SO happy with 720/60p.

Yeah...I watched this closely last week and even went as far as trying to type out what he said. But it seems that he only mentions 24p for the 5Dll. Those other frame rates were the ‘family” of DSLRs. The camera he’s using is the 7D by the way.

This has gotten all sorts of buzz, but as far as I can tell, they haven't said anything new and the screenshot is just from a 7D isn't it? Nothing to see, move along now...
