i have it on my t2i. i love it.

it has also been amazing to watch as this effort, first called a "hack," has become a really mature, helpful alternative to the firmware that canon provides. more importantly, the devs are in constant contact with a group of testers, and users, taking input and immediately implementing it.

Features like variable time-lapse are great. Why didn't Canon add these features if they could've?

What is the max frame rate? Is it double PAL/NTSC or 60 individual frames?

I have downloaded it and am going to try it today.

I use it on a T2i and would hate to be without it. It's stable and there are lots of features that I believe Canon should have included. Easy to install. I created an disk image of a prepared SD chip and when I want to setup a new chip, I image it and it saves time.

Alex is doing an awesome job on keeping it up to date. Can't speak of other models but 60D makes it sing, so to speak. The addition of focus peaking is just what the doctor ordered. I have not quite gotten the hang of the focus pull auto settings yet, but I get the concept. The audio meters rock. Not sure I like the recording square or not, I sort of liked the circle but I gues speople didn't like it so now we have the huge square.

I think the biggest "bang" is the abily to send it all to a monitor - which works best because on the built in LCD some of the text (Ok, all of it) is just way to small to really be usefull.

I was just going to download it, but the download page now contains the compelling entry: "I like turtles."

Ah, the dangers of collaborative editing/wiki rears its ugly head. I guess I'll have to wait a day or two.

Going thru some the features. Variable timelapse is included. Motion detection, either movement or exposure diffs. Audio levels. 9 bracketing HDR

If you boot while holding the shutter halfway is bypasses Magic Lantern

All this for free.
