See it as a sort of jailbreak for Canon DSLRs. I havent used an SLR until now, and I bought the book and training video from Magic Lantern Guides. Keep in mind that this firmware replacement adds lots of features that Canon didn’t want you to have on your DSLR, even if your DSLR is perfectly able to manage it.

Magic Lantern is not a new kid on the block, it has been around for a while and gained maturity with every release. We can safely say it’s no longer a hack, but it’s strongly heading towards a solid piece of engineering that you can trust. Magic Lantern v2.3 represents an important milestone – professionals from all around the world are already trusting it for their paid work. New and improved features: customizable menus, shortcuts, automatic HDR bracketing, timelapse, advanced fps and ISO control, contrast and adjustment in liveview, image analysis, fast playback.

Magic Lantern is a firmware replacement for Canon DSLRs, specifically for the EOS 5D Mark II (get it refurbished at the Canon Store for 1,759.20), EOS 60D, EOS 50D, Rebel T3i/600D, Rebel T2i and Rebel T1i.
