Canon EOS 5D Mark II Firmware 2.0.3 Upgrade Due This Month [5D Mark II Firmware 2.0.3 Adds 24fps & 25fps HD Video Recording, New Histogram Display]
Canon have officially announced that the much anticipated Firmware update for their EOS 5D Mark II DSLR, namely Firmware 2.0.3, will be made available to download for free later this month.

The Canon EOS 5D Mark II Firmware 2.0.3 most notably brings 24 and 25fps HD Movie recording to the EOS 5D Mark II (something 5D Mark II owners have been positively, and understandably, crying out for) as well as a new histogram display for shooting movies in manual exposure, shutter-priority (Tv) and aperture-priority (Av). Additionally audio sampling frequency has also been increased from 44.1KHz to 48KHz, providing what Canon state is ‘the optimum audio signal typically required for professional or broadcast material’ and you can also factor in the ability to adjust sound recording levels directly via the camera’s LCD display manually using a sound-level meter.
The Canon EOS 5D Mark II Firmware 2.0.3 is set to become available to download from mid-March (sorry guys, but Canon have been no more specific concerning the firmware’s release than that).
