They bricked the 7d, but that was forever ago. I wouldn't be afraid to use it on the camera it was meant for.

That was when they were testing development on 7D; therefore, they never released a version for it. They finally decided that the duel-Digic processors of the 7D were too difficult to code for. Therefore, they nixed the project. That does put development for all future cameras in jeopardy, though. As they put it...Originally Posted by andnowimbroke
Support for the Canon EOS 7D is almost frozen, having a running version of Magic Lantern might never happen.
Thanks to an anonymous donor we have a test 7D body and can produce a firmware dump from it.
The problem is handling the 2 instances of DryOS, one for each Digic. Currently we can generate signed firmware images and we have dumped the 7D's ROM for analysis, but we do not know how to hijack task execution on the Master/Slave (2 headed) DryOS instances. We are only able to produce a dumper and some debug functions.

Ok. I've uploaded a very short video shot with a 50D loaded with Magic Lantern. The video quality looks to be on par with the 7D. Of course, there's no sound recorded in camera, but I never rely on the in-camera audio recording anyway. This video has not been edited in any way. In hindsight, I should have cooled down my white-balance just a bit in camera; however, I did want to preserve the warmth of the incandescent bulb in the lamp.
Awesome Sean! That looks pretty cool. I wish they had that earlier
I personally would not be afraid to install it on my main camera. My understanding is that it's just a program being loaded from your memory card. Once you reset or remove your battery, it should get back to the original software right? By the way...is there any chance this works on the 40d?
