[PLS NEVER REMOVE:]

I don't like the idea of removing features that are working fine. I think more features are always better than less. In my opinion there are some very nice features you put on your list!!!!

PLS NEVER REMOVE:
- Picture style controls (same controls as with Canon menu)
I am rarely using the Canon menu. I want to rely on the knowledge that I can reach all of the cameras features through the ML menu to keep it structured and organized and to have a good overview of my settings. VERY IMPORTANT!

- From Display menu: image position, orientation, upside-down mode (although they can be useful when you need them)
It's very very VERY handy for my 550D while shooting upside down or if I got a display attached upside down which can not flip the image itself

- Movie Remap
It's a shame you needed to remove it. I never encountered any bugs with it and I can't reproduce the Err70 bug you described. Can I re-enable it somehow?


What I use:
- Silent pics - advanced modes (I intend to keep only simple, burst and maybe matrix modes)
- Mirror lockup sync'ed with self timer (anyone using it?)
- Follow focus with LCD sensor (I don't remember anyone saying he used this)
(- Some things from Debug menu (like tasks, CPU usage...) - but keep indicators with free memory and so on.)


What I don't use:
- Defishing (very rough in LiveView, although good in playback mode)
- Image effects (MOVIE menu) - they don't do any harm (they are simply DIGIC controls), but I don't think anyone will use them for normal shooting
- Flash / NoFlash (I've used it on compact cameras and missed it on dslr, but now I no longer use it)
- Sticky DOF preview / HalfShutter (I never used those, except sticky halfshutter when running through DIGIC register). Trap focus no longer needs this.


Removing too much features would be a reason for me to stick with the dec22 version and not to upgrade ML anymore, to be honest!

But besides that: Thanks for putting so much effort into the development of ML.


Edit:

Small note: the focus settings (step size, delay and wait flag) are also used for rack focus, focus ramping, stack focus... so maybe a second submenu with 3 settings would be better? but then you will have to press more buttons to change focus speed.

Also, people will have to get used to new menus etc, maybe more clicks for old tasks, but probably it's worth it. What do you think?

I like the idea. It's getting more organized that way and one click more to open the submenu is not a big deal in my opinion =)

That's a good one. I've seen a lot of ML HDR footages and i think this is one of the better ones

i totally looove the first picture. the colors and detail is just perfect for my taste! how many pictures did you take for this one?
