The 5D Mark II Team has a good overview and demonstration of the prototype here. A 3rd party developer has created a USB control unit for Canon DSLRs which acts as a follow-focus, using the AF motors of the lens to gently rack focus via a large wheel on the device.

I have just been in touch with Birger Engineering, who are developing the first ever Canon lens adapter for the AF100, with full support for AF, aperture control on the camera body, and optical image stabilisation (IS).
ABOVE: Lumix GH2 team members at Panasonic With the 5D Mark 3 expected to have 30+ Megapixels, we are seeing video DSLRs severely compromised by densely packed sensors with poor light gathering abilities. Even camera phones are racing upward with 14Mp on a tiny sensor producing terrible results.
UPDATE Though not yet 11pm EST on New Year’s Day, it appears the hack is a hoax. Nothing stacks up right now, according to Philip Bloom. This stuff about Canon offering the team $650,000 is nonsense. It’s bad that someone can abuse the trust of the community and string us along with some kind of fraud (the end-game of which we can only speculate as) but we shouldn’t loose too much…
Once upon a time – from the Bronze age onwards, humans used little known exotic materials like metal and leather to make tools.

As some guy from Apple once said to a Pepsi CEO, do you want to sell sugared water for the rest of your life of change the world?
The Sony F3 will have a dedicated Super 35 video sensor with huge pixels – can DSLRs compete? With news from Sony that the F3 has a built anew Exmor Super 35 2k sensor unrelated to DSLRs comes an interesting dilemma for DSLR users. I’ve been doing some research into the pixel sizes (and light gathering ability) of the leading video DSLRs.
