We're talking very high resolution and a big sensor. I would buy as high quality optics as possible... And one more thing:

But we all hope Canon will be able to add more frame rates through a firmware update. Currently I'm also evaluating lenses. I have a 70-200 f4 L IS USM and a 50mm f1.4 USM that I can use on the 5D. My 17-55 and 10-22 are EF-S lenses and won't work. Right now I'm considering these: 24 mm f1.4L USM II 100 mm f2.8 macro 135 mm f2L USM 80 mm f1.8 USM I also know that the 16-35 f2.8 L II is regarded a very goos zoom on the 5D. I really like the utterly sharp very fast prime lenses. And I think the 24 f1.4, 50 f1.4 and the 100 f2.8 Macro might be a very flexible solution. Time will show. I'm currently borrowing the 24 and the 100 mm macro to test them. At this point it is 1080 30p only. But we all hope Canon will be able to add more frame rates through a firmware update.

The only lence from my Canon 350D that I can use with the 5D is a great Sigma 105mm macro. I am also curious about the video recording. Is the 1080 30p the only option. What I really would like to see is the 50p option, like 720p50, but I guess that's not possible? I have ordered one and expect it to arrive any day now :) Any suggestion for suitable lences?

Can the Canon 5D MKII record decent audio ? Is there a possibility to connect an external mic ? If yes, what type of connector: XLR ? Din jack ? What about audio ?
