Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Can't wait to get my hands on it. What made you go for the 600D?Actually I say that, I just need to decide whether it's any more worthwhile going for the 60D, but in terms of either model... a combination of things really.Faster continuous shooting than the equivalent Nikon... something that'll prove handy the more I try my hand at Motorsport photography. I like the protected flip out screen making it far easier to take over the top of crowd shots, or low level shots when it's not convientient to lie on the ground. Plus on top of being a great camera it's got great video functionality as well, easy time lapse etc... Edited December 31, 2011 by Retro_Link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was going to get the 550D but the more I thought about it the more I realised the swivel screen is just a little too useful. I was looking into the custom Magic Lantern firmware for it. Got any idea about it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 31, 2011 Nice. I'm in it mainly for the video. Was going to get the 550D but the more I thought about it the more I realised the swivel screen is just a little too useful. I was looking into the custom Magic Lantern firmware for it. Got any idea about it? It'll be great for video! The screen's brilliant. Not really no, I've come across the wiki page before http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Release_2011Dec22 (I imagine you've seen that) but not looked into it properly.

Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Yeah, seen that. It looks pretty easy to do so I might give it a go. Would be nice if they could crank up the 720p fps. 60fps is good enough but you can never have enough frames. Those features listed are new to the update, right? Any idea what the previous features were? I might be being super lame but I can find a list. Edit: Duurh, found a list. http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Unified/UserGuide#Features Edited December 31, 2011 by Daft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any idea what the previous features were? I might be being super lame but I can find a list. Can definately never have enough frames! There's a news feed on this page that I'm guessing is a list of the updates: http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Magic_Lantern_Firmware_Wiki I'm gonna have to look into this more! I hadn't really read about it before, but it looks really interesting, there seems to be some great stuff! EDIT: Oh well done! :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
