There are more than a handful of films that are not on the list. Upstream Color, Mud, Hours, I Give It A Year, Some Girl(s), Burt Wonderstone, just to name a few there are probably more than two dozen more that are missing.

Interesting. For accuracy's sake, I'd advise the editor of this article to cut "These Birds Walk" and paste it under Canon 5D. If they're differentiating the Mark II from the Mark III, it should then be indicated as such.

Hmmm... Upstream Color isn't on this list. Makes you wonder, don't it?
