I beg to differ, a photo guy I shoot with has a 5D and he's shoot 30min shorts, its all about how you work the camera.
Honestly I'd shoot 30P only because if you pan quick you won't get jaggy lines which you'll see you'll get when shooting 24p
BTW you might need to go to walmart and pick up a 10" monitor to view your footage, I'm using a 24" monitor tmrw I think, HD onboard monitors run around 1,000 - 1,500 for cheap ones....
I'll give it a try tomorrow, I've only really tried it at night or indoors. I'm not 100% sure if the Aperture can be adjusted once you press record. Like I said, it locks everything in which is really stupid. As far as shooting goes, I use 24p since it looks better on youtube. I do the 2-3pulldown in Vegas and it looks pretty darn good without color correction or anything.
