"First version will have audio meters, lens data and maybe manual audio gain plus monitoring on the A/V jack." - Tramm Hudson.

Exciting!
 
no luv for the 7d....sux

Tramm showed the 7d plenty of love, but she was playing hard to get. So now he's dating 7d's younger sister - the easier, less classy one that everybody has played around with at some stage.

Seriously though, this is awesome... I wonder how many more possibilities/performance he can possibly squeeze out of this already ridiculously over-achieving camera.
 
wheres my independant audio levels, zebras and shot clock on the mkII!!!!!!??????


i mean if its impossibel fine but... like its almost perfect.;
 
WOW, thank you so much!!!
greatest news of this summer, let's dont forget the 7D please,
 
I am very proud to announce that we have started support for the
Canon 550D / T2i in a branch of the Magic Lantern tree. Thanks to
the assistance of arm.indy and an anonymous contributor, we were
able to sign an initial Magic Lantern firmware image and port the
existing code to work with the version 1.0.8 firmware in the 550D.

The first version will have audio meters, lens data and maybe manual
audio gain plus monitoring on the A/V jack. I haven't found the
video ram device yet (vram_get_number() returns -1 on all devices),
so zebra stripes and histograms won't work for a little while.
There might also not be a menuing system initially since there are
no "spare" buttons on the 550D in movie mode and we still do not
have a way to integrate with Canon's menus.
The initial testing version will be available to those brave enough
to test it and with a spare SD card that they can dedicate to the
project. It will come in two pieces: an installation firmware file
that will set the autoboot flag and write the boot block to the SD
card, and an AUTOEXEC.BIN that the camera will load automatically
when that card is in the camera. Unlike the 5D Mark II, it will
only be possible to build unsigned AUTOEXEC.BIN files for the
firmware image.
Please send me an email if you want to participate in the alpha tests.

I DONT KNOW HIS EMAIL =)


spot meter or zebras or both would have owned =) but im not picky =)
 
Congrats to Trammel and all the T2i owners! Of course I happened to pick the one camera he can't crack :(
 
I'm not sure why EVERYONE on this forum doesn't have a T2i? Not as their main camera, but as a quick and dirty, just heading out to shoot something camera. It's fine as a main camera too....but I'm just saying....it's so dang cheap...and such an over achiever for it's price. I just shot a wedding yesterday/last night (photos)....it totally ROCKED! It more than paid for its self in ONE SHOOT. DUH. T2i no brainer. This is just pure cream. Congrats all T2i owners. Thanks Trammel!
 
Canon is protecting the 7D for one reason or another. You watch, just like they held off on the firmware updates for the 5D Mark II, but then released a massive update, Canon will eventually follow suit with a firmware update to the 7D with similar functionality.

I really hope so.
