The best firmware is Magic Lantern -- it has awesome features like automatic focus bracketing and tons of movie-related stuff.
But if you are into the more limited and boring firmware ([]) from Canon themselves, 1.2.4 is the latest.

"Magic Lantern does not yet support Canon's 1.2.4 firmware"
Should I try to grab an older version of the Canon firmware if I want to try Magic Lantern? Are there other functions besides focus bracketing for still capture? From a quick glance at the website it looks like their main focus is video...which at least for now I am not utilizing.

5D2 1.1.0 Firmware
