Magic Lantern

I think the limit is set to
100 000 photos on the xxxD range
150 000 photos on the xxD and 5D

I read somewhere (think its the time lapse forum)that on some of the newer canons you can use Magic lantern only so many times and then the camera is blocked/ stuffed/ cant do any more firmware updates/prevented from using it, or canon are going to implement this strategy, might be worth a investigation for those using ML.

I'll google and read up on it but doubt it, Thats a lot of "OR"s for something that is based in any truth.

I've installed ML on both my Canon 60D's. I'd love to try out HDR timelapse feature as well as HDR video option. I edit in Sony Vegas 10 and searching for a worflow for it.

PS: How do i add my avatar to my profile?

I've investigated the HDR video feature.

How it works is like this:
Set the camera to AV. Then ML records 1 video stream at 50 fps and every second frame the ISO is bracketed by what ever setting you have set in ML menu. In your video editor make 2 tracks then put the same video on both tracks above each other. Move the top clip 1 frame to the left or right so that the dark frame will be over the corectly exposed frame. Then reduce both 50 fps clips to 25 fps(PAL) on both tracks Then play around with the opacity levels on both tracks until you get the desired effect.

I was wondering how they worked that one
