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).

I’m not so sure about the 25p? I checked the canon site and they only mention the 24p and that the 30p will become a standard 29.97
I HOPE they’re including 25p, but their site at http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=MultiMiscPageAct&key=EOS_5DMKII_Firmware&fcategoryid=139 does NOT explicitly say so…
Weird.
I’m 99.9% certain it was mentioned in the press release I saw, otherwise would never have mentioned it – let me check on that for you again.
The field dominance is a necessary descriptive bit for a frame-based stream. If the stream is field-sequential, then you always know which field comes first (because it actually comes first), but you do not implicitly know if the first field is an upper or a lower. If the stream is interleaved, then you always know which field is which spatially (because they are already in the frame in the proper locations), but you do not implicitly know which field should be displayed first in time.
