Not a moment too soon. This will immensely improve the usability of the 5D II for our purposes. | | | |

I wonder one can alter the values while recording, especially the aperture parameter. Last time i checked, GH1 allowed full adjustment but must preset before recording begin. | | | |

This is very cool! I was expecting them to hold these controls back from the 5D MKII and include them in future bodies. | | | |
