Magic Lantern Team cracks the long impossible Canon 7D!

My guess is that the new firmware canon released was very similar to the 60D/5DII/T3I/etc firmwares, and this allowed them to finally get it going on it.

Or if you read it says he found an area in the code he could alter that he didn't think of before.

after getting used to peaking and zebras on my camcorder, using dslr's is such a pain without ML.

how retarded is it that a free program like magic lantern shows just a taste of the true capability of our cameras, with features that canon doesn't include.

You know what, fuck this place, all you guys do is talk shit on Canon....They make like the bestest products ever. There lenses are revolutionary, cameras are to die for, H264 makes me shit rainbows and seriously the C100 is the best thing since pineapple chicken.

Go take your blatant scarlet sarcasm back to redusers. Or do you get mocked there for having the "low-end consumer" RED? I bet some of the high end cinematographers mock your tool of choice in the same fashion!

"Oh RED is the best! I can shoot REDRAW at 4k+ resolution it was the first of its type its so good I'm so going to be the next best DP because of this camera!"

Although I think you posted this in the wrong thread, there's still no need for this. Any camera manufacturer has its up and down sides to their products. But in the end, it's not about them being at fault. It's what YOU can produce with whatever tool you find is right for you.

I don't think any camera in history has suddenly rendered an older version of it completely useless...

I never even said anything about RED....heck I've owned Canons....I was making fun of a certain poster. You don't have to give me the tool is right for the job crap. I honestly rarely even post on REDUSER...

Sorry to offend you by making fun of another poster...I rarely see Sarcasm over on RU when I do.

Can you tell me where I said i'm a DP? Most of my work is graphics or editing. My camera doesn't leave the shelf for a month some time. It's an investment that I rent out to earn a living, and shoot it when I get hired or am an AC to DP's renting my camera. I'll be the first to admit there are alot of kids and individuals on here that are better shooters than I. I could care less though. I'm happy to see that.

I was making fun of the defender of all things Canon because someone mentioned him in here. Move along and grow some self-esteem sheesh.

That's not what he said, maybe you should research the definition of obsolete

hahahahaha yes dude. i feel like no one else got it


But for real though, canon does make a good product...3 years ago.

The cx00 series is a joke in the indie industry. Sure, for a DP who doesnt have to pay for his camera, of course they love and overpriced canon camera. But anyone with half a brain can see how overpriced canons cx00 series is and how it does not match up to competitors. That same person can also see how canon won't release new features like higher bit rate and 1080p60 in their consumer cameras, because they dont want them to outsell their high end cameras. But luckily, sony and pani aren't cunts and are providing a camera for the indie film maker that needs high bit rate and high shutter speeds.

So canon can keep making these cameras, but I sure don't want anything to do with them.

Now now, the XF100 and 105 are really really sick. I prefer Panny but Canon does make some good camcorders. The Cx00 or whatever series... I'm not a fan. And the 6D, bleh. The D600 seems much better

i don't have a 7D and it may be different but I do have a T2i and if you use the 'format card' option to clear your card it will take off magic lantern. Use the 'erase all images on card' option instead to keep ML on that card.
