Hi there,

Last year I replaced my ancient 30D with a 6D. I've been enjoying full-frame bokeh ever since, and I've grown quite fond of the 6D.

That said, Magic Lantern is wonderful - all those things that  slightly annoy on the 6D -- well most of 'em -- seem to be fixable! I can even swap the DOF preview to a button I can actually reach!

My photography has always been fairly general, with a longstanding enthusiasm for 360 panoramas (using Hugin). Post workflow is through Bibble/AfterShot and Gimp. AfterShot is an acquired taste, I know, but I've usedit for many years and like it (and it runs on Linux!).

A DSLR for video is a new departure. Previously I've used an XL1S and done post in Vegas. Now I'm moving to an all Linux/open source environment (goodbye Windows!), so I'm experimenting with Blender and Kdenlive.

Work used to be IT, and before that audio for broadcast TV and radio, back in the day...
