FYI

Magic Lantern v2.3 (unified) was released yesterday (for supporters - i.e. those willing to donate as little as 5 euro) for the 5D Mark II. It now includes a lot of the features not previously available in the old version for the 5D2 which was more centred around video users.

Some of the key features include:

Zebras: shows areas of the frame where highlights are blown out or shadows are crushed. This has been improved on previous versions whereby it was a bit slow.

Automatic HDR Bracketing: unlimited number of bracketed shots, bulb mode enabled, fixed or bracketed ISO

Timelapse: included intervalometer, improved bulb ramping for time lapse in changing light conditions, dedicated sunrise and sunset modes, full manual ramping when required.

Advanced FPS Control: full control over FPS in video, from 0.2 FPS to 35 fps

Advanced ISO Control: mostly for videography, slight improvements in shadows and highlights. Alternate ISOs available.

There's a bunch of other features too. Looks pretty good. The free version will be released on August 13th.

I'm going to download it tonight and have a play, particulartly interested in the time lapse stuff.

Will report back after the weekend.
