EOS Bodies - For Video / Re: Hacked! The Magic Lantern Team Cracks the EOS 7D

Awww Yeaaaaaa, this is awesome news!   
This makes the 7D so much more capable and useful without addling a whole bunch of accessories for extra functions like plugging in an intervolmeter or external monitor for focus peaking, sweeeet!

Also I think it'll complement the 7D's new v2 firmware nicely.

Hats off to the Magic Lantern team, Great work!

My bets are on its an EOS Movie targeted camera(locking mode wheel so it won't switch off manual accidently when shooting video, the movie/live view button, the lacking CA mode on the dial indicating its not geared towards consumers)
The camera is still a DSLR, so it would make sense to make sure it works well when taking photos. He could also be testing how shooting with a widescreen aspect ratio screen in portrait mode is like and if it feels right or if it's to awkward to use.
Also the new buttons on the left side of the screen looks interesting)

Canon General / Re: A Canon Hollywood Event on November 3, 2011

Just for the record this is my guess:
My guess is Canon is going to release a hybrid video/photo camera (or at least video priority) or high resolution cinema quality camera that uses an EF mount, BUT at the same time they're going to announce a new EF mount series. One that is targeted towards video, like lenses with power zoom. I bet that USM technology, the motor used in some lenses for AF, could also be added to the zoom; it would be quick, silent and be passive if older cameras don't support it. It would be named like "EF-Z" for its power-Zoom feature and be oriented towards serious videographers and cinematographers. They might also be able to borrow some of the optical fomulas from there video cameras and put it into an EF lens package(though pretty sure highly unlikely because of sensor size differences). This would all also answer the possible rumor about Canon's "photo and video department merge or working together."

If the above did happen I would consider that "historical".

Edit: I just realized that someone else had said something similar earlier on in this thread.

A detectable left-handed grip that mounts on the left side of the camera, that, when detached doubles as a wireless shutter/video start/stop remote. It would also add extra stability when shooting video or with a long tele lens on a tripod.

Since everything these days has a clock why shouldn't our cameras! I want to see a clock added into the top lcd screen.

About time! This combined with the built-in preview pane (the big one that is toggle-able) in the regular window browser in windows make it really awesome.
