New to the forum from PA, USA

Just joining the forum in hopes to gain a better understanding of ML and whether or not it fits my needs. My daughter just got a t3i for Christmas and I own a 50d. She is more interested in video than I am and will most likely use ML but I am curious if it is worth it to put ML on my 50d if I am mostly into stills. I have a few questions/concerns...
1. I didn't see the t3i in the camera specific section of the forum. Am I missing something?
2. Do you think ML is worth putting on my 50d if I am new to video and do more still photography? I can always use my daughters
Thanks for any and all help.

ML is widely known for punching EOS cam's video capabilities but surely has something to offer for stills shooters. Auto-ETTR, dual-ISO, advanced bracketing, intervalometer, focus stacking, to name a few. Don't want to use my cams without ML and I'm a stills shooter, too.
But your daughter's cam has quite limited RAW/MLV video bandwidth. Just about 21 MByte/s. Your 50D however is able to use about 75 MByte/s.

1. We use the European designations Canon gives the cameras here, so T3i = 600D
