Then there's this - not a good thing if you intend to use your DSLR for paid work. Marsu et al, sorry, but this one is going to hurt their reputation
I know, I saw the general idea it in the source commits and of course disabled it on my personal build, I didn't even look what it did exactly. Imho there's good and bad about it. The bad obviously is that people lost shots, but the good news is that there's no way 'round making clear what ML is or isn't ... basically I agree with http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=14779.msg143039#msg143039
* as for ML's target audience: "They" cannot cope with expectations anyway, because "they" is "he" and as it's developed by a single person with some expert help on video and some less expert help on specific cameras. I would never recommend running ML for critical pro work like a wedding (and I've never written as such), even though I find it rock stable. If you want pro, buy pro. This is an amateur project to un-cripple the budget to mid-range Canon cameras, they don't even accept donations.
* As for "sorry for me": That's just it, I'm sorry for everyone not using ML because it has features that really make a difference (dual_iso, raw histogram, un-broken auto iso, the lot). It's not like I gain anything from promoting it, actually that's the very reason I stopped contributing source code as it's more hassle than fun.
I just hope the bad rep won't drive ML into stubbornness as so many oss projects who adopt a "take it or leave it" stance and are too quick to say "if you don't contribute (source or bug reports), you have no say in this". But the main dev is a really nice guy, he's doing it for personal fun, and ML's site is very clear on what to expect or not.
