the other and IMHO biggest problem is no proportional power zooming. Not sure if thats the correct term but what I mean is the ability to power zoom from very slow to as fast as possible depending on how hard you press the power zoom in/out buttons...

One of the problems that some people are having with shooting HD with the Canon 5dmII is that the Canon lenses have no direct aperture control on the lens - so we are seeing Zeiss and Nikon lenses being used with adapters! Here's some footage: <http://www.vimeo.com/4557873> The problem with HD video on DSLRs is audio control and bitrate.
