How good is the EOS 5D Mark II at video?

Well, we've seen some videos, everyone is raving about it, but just how good is it in real terms? It certainly looks the business and the films that have been produced have been very impressive, but what if there was a way to get a real handle on it? Wouldn't that be good?

Well, how about this? James Velacott, a well known photographer for the Daily Mirror, has been accused of ripping off BBC footage of the recent U2 concert on the roof of the BBC. Suffice to say the material is not ripped off, it was shot by James with an EOS 5D Mark II and now the Mirror's lawyers have pointed this out, the BBC seem to have gone quiet about it. 

James' blog at the Mirror has the full details...

So, what do you reckon? Who has one and how good do you really think it is?
