Anyone install Magic Lantern on your Canon EOS camera?

I was reading the PT facebook page this morning and noticed someone asking about Magic Lantern.  I Googled it and learned it's a software that sits on your memory card and gives your camera more features that weren't installed from Canon. 

This I find very interesting.  Anyone install this and can share what features you were able to pick up?  http://www.magiclantern.fm/

Hahahaha, that's exactly what I was thinking Kelly.

But it is interesting....
If you try it Stacy, let me know how you make out. I was on their site  and it seems pretty straight forward. Just changes your menu on the update, which freaks me out a bit.

I do on my T3\1100d. It has a lot of useful tools. Focus stacking, intervalometer, zebras, meters, dual iso, ettr, and lots more. The T3 build is a nightly build so its still a little buggy, but I use it constantly.

I use it on my 7d.  It's also a nightly build, but seems pretty stable to me.  It unlocks a whole bunch of features Canon never thought of.

It resides on all my memory cards.

Highly recommended.

I have it on one of my SD cards for my 6D. It works, it has some fancy tools, but honestly I don't think it is going to improve your photography that much. But it's free, so it's definitely worth trying!
