Building off of Walter's response (and his included link), since the temp is captured by Canon in the EXIF, you can also use this to determine if the camera is getting hotter with ML than without. You can use shooting video to get the camera heated up (if you think necessary) and press the shutter to capture a still with the temp in its EXIF. As Walter points out, ML developers have used this to aid ML's calculation of temp, but it can also be used to do rough comparisons between ML and non-ML if you suspect a significant difference.

Can someone explain the MZ issues-- the tearing versus in sync discussion started back in this post: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=3697.msg45799#msg45799.

Does anyone have images or video that they can post to show what MZ behavior looks like on the 650d-- the flickering/tearing? Does the in sync/locked UI look the same as regular MZ, just with all other controls locked while zoomed? I'm trying to judge whether the 650d will be a viable upgrade for me when ML goes beta. Yes, you can call me conservative... but my friends call me chicken Thanks to all you pioneers for kicking the tires. And especially thank you nanomad for all your hard work!

I appreciate the upgrade feedback, but before the original question gets buried, can anyone post what the Magic Zoom issue looks like or describe it and its ramifications in detail. I haven't been able to get a feel for how usable it is from previous posts. Thanks.

I currently have the 550d/T2i and am looking to move up. I remember how frustrated I was when I first realized that, with the Canon firmware standalone, I could not zoom to adjust focus while recording. That's what first drew me to ML, and I've been loving it ever since (and far more than just MZ). Given that I expect to still need to manually focus and occasionally correct on-the-fly, MZ is still top on my list of features.
