Thanks.

For those of you (us) with earlier serial numbers, that are anxiously and graciously waiting for ML to become available, I may have a temporary alternative, depending on your needs. 

DSLR Controller is an Android App that does some of the features found within ML.  You can connect your 70D to your Android Device via a USB OTG cable or via Wi-Fi.

Yes, removing ML this way does work.  It does leave an ML folder that only contains a config file but removes everything else, it no longer runs after doing this.

Johnny, the menu override in Canon menu while selecting the option to format card works. You can switch with "Q" button to format card and retain ML on camera which I tested and that's working. There's also the option to remove ML but I didn't test it. Should work but I cannot guarantuee that it works because I didn't try. I will test it myself later and give an answer on that. Till then I don't recommend you to use that option.

Hi nikfreak,

Mega kudos goes out to you and the ML team!!

Quick question:
You mentioned on January 7th that "You won't be able to remove the bootflag again."
Is that still the case with the Alpha build?

Cheers!

Hi guys, thanks for the quick reply!  I was referring to removing the BootFlag on the camera, not the ML files from the SD card.
Thanks!

@bigorna - Hi there!  That's why sixfootgeek was asking; to find out if ML could enable this feature.  That's a big part of ML; enabling great features that Canon has otherwise crippled.

@ShootMeAlready - Howdy!  Everyone has there own purposes and techniques for their individual needs.  I know a lot of you are mainly only interested in RAW video.  But for others, the ability to setup the camera for video and remotely control it from 100 feet away via WiFi, would be a highly sought after feature. 

X-STATE does have a valid point...  Maybe nanomad could send the 70D to nikfreak that the community funded for the port.
