Hey Canon 5D Mark II ( MKII ) owners.
You can download the new EOS 5D MKII firmware, 2.0.3 at here:
http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/firm-e/eos5dmk2/firmware.html
However, the site seems extremely overloaded so I thought let’s upload it to my own server as a MIRROR and offer it to all my 5DMKII friends.
You can get it here as well:
DOWNLOAD
We had the 500th download… =)
If you downloaded this, please comment (and verify it worked for you! π )
It worked for me so no worries friends!
-Steven.
EDIT: THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS
Also take a look at the number of visitors to my site since I posted this page….
LOL!!!!
Hi,
Thank you very much for providing this mirror!
I have just finished upgrading to 2.0.3 and everything works great!
Regards from Romania
You’re welcome and thanks for the comment!
-Steven.
Thanks Steven!
All the best,
Paul
Many thanks, I got the update within
15 seconds from your server.
The CANON site seems to be blocked
now. So manny 5D II users are eager
to controll audio manualy?
Best Regards,
GΓΌnter
Hahaha yeah! Well for me it’s VERY useful since I’m doing a vodcast with the 5DMKII… http://www.gadgettribe.tv for 2 test-episodes. Using the Rode videomic currently.
Anyway 15 sec nice! That’s FAST. =) Enjoy the firmware and tell ur friends! π
Lifesaver
alot of 5d MkII owners owe you :XD
CAnon should to π
Nice to hear! Btw look at the statistics of pageviews (daily!!!!)… that’s quite amazing. Usually have round 2000 visits a day but now… dayum!
Also I promoted Canon’s 5D MKII quite a lot after it fell in the water, was there for 3 min and now about a year later I still use it… I could put “Canon Salesman” on my CV by now. π
We really appreciate you’re doing this, Steven. I’ve tried downloading from canon website after 2.5 hours of trying and still did not succeed. went to your web and it only took me 14 seconds…Nice and it worked too. Thankyou again.
14 seconds it’s a record! Anyone else under 14 sec? π
Ur welcome buddy!
super! do you have the instruction manual pdf as well?!
Thanks Steven,
that was fast.
Many thanks, the file downloaded really fast. The Canon site seems to be overwhelmed, they sold a lot of 5mkII apparently π
Maybe Canon should have provided some mirrors, at least for the first couple of days. Anyways, nice job Steven!
Thanks Steve! The Canon site is totally congested! Just to verify: this is a fast, virus-free download.
Thanks a ton! The JP site is getting hammered and keeps timing out.
Floris:
No instruction manual but trust me it’s all super easy.
Go to manual, go to the menu, in the second TOOL menu there’s a function for PAL or NTSC. When you go to the live view option menu you can choose more resolutions now (depending on PAL or NTSC the framerate will change).
Completely below there is the volume setting.
I didn’t read the manual and figured it… so for now this will do. π
You’re all welcome fellers! π
>14 seconds itβs a record! Anyone else under 14 sec? π
Nope , 14 sec. flat!
Thanks !
Yes it took me about 3 1/2 seconds start to finish, lol
LOOOL! Well when you were selecting where to download it… it might prolly already have started on the background. Otherwise 3.5 sec is EXTREMELY fast… woah. :p
Btw never had so many comments on a post here… shoud place more firmware instead of photography on my blog haha! :p
I re-did it so I didn’t have any waiting time from the pop up to the click. 8 seconds. Still the record lol
Dude as long as you have this hosted while no one else does you will be flooded with hits. Post it on as many photo sites as you can. Dpreview is where I found you at
My sincerest thanks for your kindliness. I’ve been trying to download this firmware update since this morning with no avail, and it only took 2 sec to download it from your site. Appreciate it very much. π
Thanks for the mirror download fast with no problems. Came here from Canon EOS-1/1Ds/5D forum on DPReview.
Cheers,
K
I am no genius but this seems different to previous firmware updates, I don’t know how to update it to my Camera, btw ur site was superfast!
Thanks ever so much. The Canon site was impossible.
aaahhh discovered how to do it.
hehe
Thank you. Downloaded in less than two minutes.
I tried in vain for more than an hour from the UK from 19:00 on March 16. The download simply stopped partly completed and eventually Firefox would give up leaving only part of the file. All the Canon sites I tried seem to call the download from Japan: If only Canon – who after all created the demand from the firmware by calculated teasers – had hosted the file on their local sites !
Thank you for your help.
Thanks!
Downloaded in 10 seconds!
Would be cool if you could do the same with the user manuals as well.
They are super duper slow … actually never finishes … from the canon site.
Anyway… thanks for putting the firmware here.
Mag ik niet een mooie banner plaatsen? Ik zie je statistics net π Goed bezig jongen!
dude, you save my life…. thanks!
