I contacted Canon asking about the upcoming 7D firmware if we would be able to monitor the audio. This is their response.

Dear Daniel,
Thank you for contacting Canon Australia.

I have read the press release for the new firmware update and this is what is said about video.

In addition to these enhancements, the new EOS 7D firmware enables manual adjustment of audio levels prior to recording video, similar to the functionality found on the EOS 5D Mark II. Videographers can now manually adjust up to 64 audio levels on the EOS 7D so that they can refine the captured audio to match their particular needs.

There is no mention of being able to listen to the audio from a headphone jack whilst taking video.

I presum it will be like the 5D II update, did that have a monitor function?

I guess decent UV metering is important also.

I don't think that the 7D physically has a headphone jack

will there be In-camera Image Rating for the 5dmk2?
I'd really want that feature on my 5dmk2

Adelle
