I really want a Canon 60 D because of the swivel screen, but I love the images I see of the T2i when used with ML. I hear that there is also a version for the 60D still in development, but is there any guarantee that it will actually come out and work properly? Or should I just go with the T2i or the 7D?
I've been having a REALLY hard time choosing a DSLR that's right for me. PS I shoot mostly music videos.
 
The only things missing on 60D ML are LCD remote shot, a few key shortcuts and some minor tweaks. Split focus screen is much better on 60D ;)
 
dadirector89, you've been starting an awful lot of new topics lately.
I understand that you want advice buying hardware, but maybe stick to a single thread about that instead of starting new ones each time you want to rephrase the question.
If left unchecked, I fear that topics started by you will clutter up and dominate the forum! ;)

I recommend the T3i. Same camera as the T2i - swivel screen like the 60D -- and early versions of the ML hack are already available: http://groups.google.com/group/ml-devel/browse_thread/thread/9ec93797f42e5d3a

And even if you don't want to wait for the hack, the most important improvement to the T2i provided by ML, in my view, is manual audio -- and the T3i already has it.

Arguable. Most important features of ML (and the reason I wouldn't consider a 60D until it was ported over despite manual audio as well) was audio monitoring via headphones and the magic zoom for more accurate focus pulling.
 
i have a 60d and i'm thinking about using magic lantern... has anyone any experience with stability?
can i (accidentally) turn on wrong settings and crash the camera?

I use the focus peaking and majic zoom features pretty heavily on gigs.

How many threads are you going to make regarding the same thing?
All this time you spend on this forum worrying about which camera to buy could actually be used shooting projects and getting better.
All of the Canon Dslrs have the same image quality, the faster you realize this and start learning how to use one you will stop making these threads.

Please dude it's not that serious & the longer you take to buy one just means your competition is only getting better :costumed-smiley-047

Ok, lets keep the discussion civil. I've already warned him earlier in the thread.
 
LOL sorry guys about the repetitive questions. I didn't realize anyone would take it so serious. Just want to make sure I'm getting the most for my money. Thanks anyway for the help.
