Hi all,
As it stands I know the 80D may be a long way from ML support, and I hope this post doesn't breach any rules, but I thought we could do some basic theory-crafting on its hardware capabilities.
Here's what my research has uncovered so far based on internet benchmarks and existing ML implementations for other cameras:
I do have an 80D and Sandisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s UHS-I SD card. If anyone knows how I can run an effective benchmark I'll give it a try. I plan on attempting to simply time how many RAW files I can write in a certain burst duration and do some math on how many MB/s it's writing. Not sure how well this will turn out.

Here's what my research has uncovered so far based on internet benchmarks and existing ML implementations for other cameras:
- 70D SD controller appears limited around 41MB/s(http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=6862.0)
- 80D RAW buffer is improved compared to 70D and just shy of 7D MKII (which uses CF). 25 RAW vs 16 for 70D and 31 for 7DMKII (http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EOS-80D.aspx)
- The 7D MK II is at least capable of ~75MB/s avg write speed to SD media. I can't find any benchmarks for the 80D online and am unsure how to test this accurately myself. While this doesn't prove the 80D has a different SD controller than the 70D it at least shows there are some new Canon cameras with higher SD card write speeds (http://www.cameramemoryspeed.com/canon-7d-mark-ii/fastest-sd-cf-card-comparison/)
