Today Canon released a new firmware update for the Canon 5D MKII that fixes a few bugs.

Fixes a phenomenon in which overexposure occurs when shooting a Live View shooting simulation with the ISO speed set to L. Fixes a phenomenon in which the settings of the Speedlite transmitter ST-E2 revert to the default settings when both the camera and the ST-E2 are set to auto power off.

With 2 million hits in 24hrs i guess they are pretty successful in getting everyone to watch this video! But you know what…I'm not a fan of this video. I think Ken Block going to the WRC, I think he's lost all of his driving abilities. Ken is the only driver in WRC without scoring a single point really and how does he still have a seat still. Well the video just filled with Ken just bouncing of the rev limiter and doing circular burn outs. Really? Come on! This video just plain boring! I think the only parts that were really cool was the launch, when you can see the car sit before taking off and the drift around the pylon near the top of high speed oval (the screen capture). Large portion was shot on RED, and in car (Canon 5D MKII) You be the judge, video after the jump! Source:[Youtube/Autoblog] It was shot on Red MX, HPX 170, Canon 5D MarkII, Canon 7D, and Go Pro. The POV was Canon and Go Pro.

BMW using the 5D MKII to shoot there latest commerical for Sebring Race. There was some gear mishap as 5D MKII was lost in the filming of this commercial: Apparently one of BMW’s professional drivers, Dirk Muller, was being too aggressive while following the other M3 and accidentally rammed a Canon 5D Mark II and lens into the rear of the car. The poor camera and lens were splattered all over the Sebring track. Video after the jump!

Looks like he’s been using 1-series bodies for quite awhile and really familiar with them. Looks like Jeff has the camera 24hrs before his shoots and didn’t have alot of time setting up the camera, but its not much different from his 1DsMKIII. Shots from the Canon 1DMKIV they are stunning in low light! Autofocus performance is stunning. There is no other word for it. Canon have spent a lot of time and energy on this aspect of the camera and it shows. I was shooting in horrific lighting for AF systems, and it just performed faultlessly. I used the center point and the back button for focusing as this is what I have become use to over the past 12 months with the 5DMKII, and like I said it was faultless. I didn’t try AI servo mode (as I always use One shot) or any of the other AF options (some of which have been borrowed from the 7D). Source:[Jeff Ascough/Canonrumors] Pictures after the jump!
