no magic lantern can only reprogram the arm processor. the crop mode is a function of the digic. I believe it can be added as canon firmware upgrade.

Afaik many functions on the digic are hardwired, there's no "reprogramming" possible by neither ml or Canon - if the digic is designed only to put out raw files that cover the whole sensor (or reduce them to m or s raw), then that's what it is.

But the ml devs are still discovering what the digic processors can do and canon didn't use in their fw, so there's still the potential for big surprises like the raw histogram recently discovered (show the *actual* white clipping, and not just what would be clipped in jpeg mode!).
