For me - C100 mkii shutter angle priority is a lovely little gift from Canon!

Yeah sort of a auto mode which is good. One less thing you forget to check before you shot!

This camera has an annoying habit, if you use HFR, of maintaining the actual shutter speed, rather than the angle, so if you wind up to 60fps you have to re-adjust the angle back from 360 to 180 (if that's your bag - it is mine) and likewise, in reverse, when you return to your normal speed - so this is a great little update (and was much requested, I believe)

Yeah we all want better Video cameras, but the better they are the harder it is to shoot with them! There are 20 things you NEED to check before you even push the button. And then if you change location, lighting changes, well here we go again!

At times you sort of wish you were in pure auto mode using a old P&S LoL. I ain't easy to get everything right, and if you are in a hurry, well it almost always bites you in the ass.

There is one such solution @webrunner5, your mobile phone!

First of all the date mentions 31 of March, so no 1st of April(!) and second of all, most of the updates are not much, but every little helps!

Yeah, there IS a reason Smartphones are so popular!!
