That's a great news. The Magic Lantern is opening door for 1DX.

Awesome! It would be nice to have an a programmable shutter release built in. That would be one less thing dangling off the camera on my equatorial mount

I use on of these on my 40d, works great. Don't need it on the 60d with ML but it works. Came with the N3 connector but was easy to find a 2.5mm double male to connect the 60D.

Clear skies,

Awww Yeaaaaaa, this is awesome news! ;D
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!

 

[Schruminator]

I'm definitely looking forward to this-- let's see what features/capabilities Canon tucked away in the 7D

 

[Musouka]

I totally wasn't expecting this. Wonderful news. Bring it on!

Everyone should donate €5 or more so this can become a reality

 

[FunkyJam]

Hell yes!

Amazing job mate. Keep it coming!

 

[Marsu42]

The Magic Lantern devs are the one and UNPAID asset Canon has vs Nikon - unbelievable Canon is in no way interested in supporting them. If ml ran on the 7d two years ago I'd have bought it over the 60d.

Way to go ML team! THANKS!!!!!

 

[Scumbag]

Great news. I can't wait to finally fire up ML on my 7D.

 

[dr croubie]

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

 

[Jason Beiko]

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..

[lopicma]

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

 

[ctmike]

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.

 

[mucher]

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

 

[denisnatan]
