Good news

Anyway - take your time, I can wait. Though I'll be happy to test it on my Rev. B 70D.

Hello.

Willing volunteer here to test the Rev.B Firmware on personal 70D. Keep me informed if thats a possibility! 

[janoschsimon]

great news :-) keep up the great work :-)

[UrbexJoe]

I am willing to test on 2 RevB. I am eager, i must admit . Keep up the good work I love it.

Hi nikfreak and dev's. Thumbs up for your very good work. I am also willing to test RevB on my 70D. Appreciated ML already since the early days on a 550D, later on a 60D and I'm curious how it performs on my 70D.

   Nikfreak, many thanks for your hard work: chapeau bas 

Alex1, Nano, the testers and the ML team are not forgotten. THANKS 
Of course, I will help!

[ShootMeAlready]

Cant wait to unwrap the new version goodies ...

Cheers! And Def-eye looks like the days of coasting will soon be over.

Hi,  first big thx for your effort in developing magic lantern. I have an idea of adding adittional functionality to magic lantern and canon DSLR.

I'm a hunter but i hunt more with 70d lately then with riffle. Recently i'm starting to train in long distance shooting (target shooting) and i thought about buying observing scope not to have to walk to the target board.

70d with 150-600mm tamron has big adventage over observing scope - i don't have to change position to look throu observing scope. Just turn head and check the lcd display. The other thing great about magic lanter is that it shows the distance between the camera and the target.

Is it possible to include a simple ballistic calculator module in magic lantern?
Youser would provide ballistic data for ammunition he uses, and the program would calculate (already has distance, earth derivation is known, youser could enter the actual temperature and atm. pressure) and show on the lcd how high/left/right should the shooter aim, or simpler how many MOA adjustment on the scope should be made.

Perhaps dslr coud be also helpful during low light hunting - in my country before shooting we have to recognize target with binoculars - i think that good dslr coud give brighter image then binoculars (70d with cinestyle and 18-135mm high iso looks promissing for this task)

Excuse my English, thank you again, and regards
Tom

If something comes up , it should be on the first page.

"It's on it's way" may be translated "We are not there, yet". Why announce something not ready yet without any clue how long it will actually take?

Didn't expect nikfreak to fall for this prank ...

Not funny

Yes, BSOD caught me as commented but still the pull request is no joke wether it might be declined or put on hold for weeks...

Just do as it suggests, enable peaking, take a photo of today's date on a calendar and everything should be fine. The magic button part may be a bit tricky to do, but worked fine for me...

@nikfreak if you need an early 70d body (sn 03202101xxxx) , I'd be happy to ship mine your way. It's not getting much use atm.

It would ofc be easier to test and manage some stuff on it but better keep it in your hands rather than sending and returning it from one address to another forth and back. Once we got a "hello world" or "installer" firmware for Rev. B it's up to one of you to try and report back. I simply assume I can keep it maintained for both revisions. One will be blindly maintained. Maybe we get lucky one day and Canon decides to bring out a new firmware. That would make it easier.

@nikfreak:
Why not write a petition to Canon (of course not as ML users, but just as disappointed 70D Users). The petition should refer to the fact, that even cheap Canon Systemcams can do 1080p with 60fps, have focus peaking etc. It should be easy for them to update at least the possibility for higher framrates in 1080p mode. That be the reason for the petition and if Canon swallows it, we would have our firmware update. I know this is a bit out of topic but what about that?
Can we get a few hundred or better thousand 70D users together for that? I would be willing to send the petition in my name to Canon.
