Canon Keeps Upping the Ante!
October 20, 2009Canon have just announced that they will be releasing a firmware update for the 5D which will include 24p and 25p frame rates… and about time!

Phillip Bloom also got his hands on one and shot this low-light stuff in Temple Bar after his recent F-Stop Academy seminar in Dublin. Minor colour balance to take the yellow cast out of the sodium lights.
