Magic Lantern

For anyone wishing to shoot video with their Canon DSLR, they should seriously think about installing Magic Lantern. I have had Magic Lantern running on my own 550D for about 18 months now and whilst it can be a little on the "flaky" side on occasion, it really does open up a raft of extra features including manual audio gain control (an absolute must!) and an excellent intervalometer for timelapse.

It also now seems that Magic Lantern has a new website and yet another new version out:

Sorry, just checked - the new version is only currently available (31st July 2012) for PayPal contributors. However, it will be free to all from Monday 13th August 2012.
