• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

What about 6d?

If you'd read the information to which you posted links, you'd have learned that the dual ISO capture requires dual ISO amplifiers that only the 5DIII and 7D have (i.e., the 6D does not). That's stated right at the bottom of the main post. Maybe complaining is easier than reading? ::)

Good pt - there should be an instruction manual for human that states "engage brain before operating mouth". I should follow that advice several times a day

May I add 70D to that list since 70D also got a 8-bit read channel? :) Since Canon can now split pixels, I'm also expecting future cameras to have more than 8-bit read channel, dual ISO amplifiers (or more) just to extend DR while doing away some of the moire. (1DX I believe got a 16-bit read channel, if only ML is allowed to hack it...)

OK, be gentle. For some of us, photography is just a hobby and we don't get deep into the technical aspects of it all. I have a 6D but I couldn't tell you what processor is in it and I have no idea what dual iso amplifiers are.

Having said that, I am mildly curious about Magic Lantern coming to the 6D. Do any of my more learned friend have any information on when or if that is going to happen?

I have good news for you my friend. It seems it is already available for the 6D.
As you can read here http://www.magiclantern.fm :

Available for Canon EOS:
5Dmk2, 50D, 60D
500D, 550D, 600D
soon: 5Dc, 1100D, 5Dmk3, 7D, 6D, 650D, EOS-M


If you need more 6D specific information (install guide) look here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5530.0 Keep in mind that ML is mainly for video guys but also has some goodies for stills. You should also keep in mind that altering your firmware might damage your camera. You should read the ML how-tos and guides before flashing.

But this specific feature of Magic Lantern which the OP mentioned in his links (dual ISO / dynamic range increase) will never be available for the 6D. It is a hardware limitation, not a software limitation in this case.
