I wouldn't call it manually "enhancing" sound levels, more accurately it's manually "setting" audio recording level.

The difference between 29.97 and 30 is 3 frames every 100 seconds. You have to lose them if you play back using NTSC. Basically, 29.97 doesn't divide 30 into a nice number so the recording framerate doesn't sync well with the playback framerate.

Having used the 5D II exclusively for pictures, I upgraded the firmware in hopes of finally doing some video. I'm a total novice, so all I wanted was the most simple editing possible. Alas, Adobe Premiere Pro still requires quite a bit of finaggling to get the file output just right so it will play in uTube. I don't understand why Canon can't just add an option that makes a high quality uTube-ready video right off the bat, no hassles.

Another new feature is that bitrate is now at 44 mbps VBR, instead of 38 mbps VBR. This means that if now you shoot at 24p (instead of the old 30p @ 38mbps), you will get an improvement between 16% and 45% in quality, depending on how much motion there's in the scene.
