Those cameras are pretty expensive right? I found a used one in ebay for a couple thousand bucks that has some lenses and stuff with it. Does that sound on the right track?<br><div><div><br></div><div>So you mean you upgraded the eprom on the camera and now you have to wait to try Magic Lantern again?</div>

</div></div>I have run magic lantern on my Canon 5D mark II.<br>
<br>
It was pretty interesting and worked pretty well, but I'm waiting for<br>
their updates to catch up with Canon firmware updates.<br>
<br>
The things I liked most about it was the ability to over ride the audio<br>
AGC (Automatic Gain Control) and the VU meters.<br>
<br>
I see there are now updates from both Canon (2.0.8) and Magic Lantern<br>
(0.1.9) since I last checked in early fall. Thanks for the remider...<br>
<br>
I'd like to see them add voice annotation to it since the hardware is<br>
all there.<br>
