Canon offers locking mode dial upgrade for 5D Mark II, 7D Read whole article here: http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/content_page.asp?cid=7-10057-11067
Canon has announced a service upgrade for the EOS 5D Mark II and EOS 7D that sees the camera's mode dial replaced with a redesigned locking version. The new dial, which is similar in design to the one on the EOS 60D, includes a centre button that, when pressed, allows the dial setting to be changed. Otherwise, the dial is locked in position to prevent accidentally changing the exposure mode while the camera is carried.
Thanks for reading.

Nice to know, and they still have place for Sv, TAV on it.
The strange thing is that they are not going to change it for new camera's but you can get it for an extra of 100$.
So they know people ask for it, but to integrate standard in the body would be to much hassle.
It's a strange world
now if only canon could make their camera dial placemtns a little more user firendly. I"ve been shooting with pentax and nikon for so long and they have thier button placements in the most obvious locations. I got a chance to shoot with a canon the other day and i was lost. Things were not so easy to find even the owner was lost.
Maybe it's a Pentax invention, maybe not, I don't know.
Pentax had camera's containing 2 dials with that function since 1996/1997: MZ/ZX5, MZ/ZX5n, MZ3 and MZ/ZX-M.
I'm glad Pentax brought this type of dial back to K-7 and K-5.
Not on my K200D, but nevertheless, imho it,s a great camera.
