runs like a fuckin champ on my 60D. it is sooo worth it. the main reason i got a 60D over the 7D was for the ML. you can turn off the gay auto gain control for sound and it makes a world of difference if you have any sort of mic plugged in.

the only problem ive had is with the bulb ramped time lapse setting, i think i was setting it up wrong but all other features and functions work perfect. regular time lapse works perfect too

do it! and yeah make sure you format your card and have a charged battery haha. the first time i did it i effed it up cuz my battery was dying. other than that the instructions are pretty straight forward. oh and if your are like me and don't always read the manual past how to get it on your card...the menu button for the magic lantern menu is the trash can when you are in manual or video shooting mode...took me a while to figure that out and it was pissin me off for a while

but then its the greatest thing ever and super cool
