Hacked! The Magic Lantern Team Cracks the EOS 7D

[Don Haines]

hmmmm, contemplating.

From anyone who's used it on other cameras, are there any (real world) benefits besides video? (2 years and I might have shot 2 or 3 videos, only tests as it was).

Still, technology, any news makes me happy.

I like the auto trigger fuction with exposure change.... except since I decided to try and capture lightning pictures with it we haven't had a single nighttime thunderstorm.

You may speak good english but i am sure you know what LAZY is! Are you on a lounge chair by the beach sipping a beer with a bag of doritos on your belly?

OK. this is the first time i hear about Magic Lantern.

I don't really understand what Magic Lantern does. ..I had read about this on their site but i still not understand.... I have some questions:

 - how do i install this soft?? like a regular camera firmware
 - is a firmware extension??
 - what is does to stills??? ( i am not interested in video)
 - after installation in camera menu appears new features, selectable features??
 - it can be uninstalled?



A clear answer will be very appreciating . PS. English  is not my native language.

Thanks,

The 7DMkII just got delayed by a  year! This and the 5D MIII alpha news just cause a jump in Canons Outlook and shareprice. All without mentioning sensors and dynamic range not to mention DxO

its a great camera, i just really would like AEB bracketing with options for 5,7 or 9 frames. its not something i need all the time... but when i do, it would be really nice..

I wonder if this break threw will help for other older model cameras... 1000D aka. Rebel XS

I've lurked and read the forums for a long time now... Don't often log on to post. I did today to let Wilmark know that he is a horrible person.

Honestly, I do think that these features offered by ML are supposed to be offered by Canon instead.
