God bless Zeek. It is best build quality camera in M range. I have only original EOS M and I'am enjoying in Raw videos and MLVAPP everyday. Canon PowerShot SD600 Canon PowerShot S5 IS Canon PowerShot SX210 IS Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX10 Canon PowerShot SX620 HS +8 more. There aren't other "EOS M" cameras with magic lantern type software. Ive googled and visited magic lantern website, but I could not find a conclusive answer for my question. Would this mean I'm getting an equivalent camera but in a smaller form factor? Both cameras would be using a EFS-22mm and EFM-22mm lens respectively. Once the camera doesn't have to worry about audio, Magic Lantern can boost the Bit Rate to well over Canon's default. In addition, my current SL1 compared to the EOS-M share the same CMOS sensor. What functions of Magic Lantern are you utilizing? Many of the capabilities in Magic Lantern are now standard fare on newer cameras. I have a thing for pancake lens.Įdit: Forgot to mention, God bless Danne for making magic lantern possible If you want to get a sense what the M would be like, just put your SL1 in live view mode.īoth cameras would be using a EFS-22mm and EFM-22mm lens respectively.

The M actually uses a slightly older version of the sensor in your SL1, but image quality would be nearly identical. Magic Lantern is essentially a software add-on that includes many features that are not included in the base menu system for Canon EOS cameras. Would this mean I'm getting an equivalent camera but in a smaller form factor? 'Magic Lantern' is not yet available for the 70D, but it will alow audio level adjustment while recording video on the 5D Mk II, 60D and other cameras. I suspect it is intentionally absent on the 70D. Magic Lantern allows you to use an external HDMI recording device, such as Atomos Ninja or Hyperdeck Shuttle, by removing the focus box and other graphics from the display. In addition, my current SL1 compared to the EOS-M share the same CMOS sensor. Canon has allowed both the 5D Mk III and 1Dx to control audio levels while recording video. If you check ebay, original M bodies sell for less than $150 and kits with the 22mm sell for less than $250. My only complaint is that the body does not have image stabilization. Will most likely pick up an EOS-M, but are there any other cameras to consider at this price point with magic lantern type software? I can pick up a EOS-M with kit lens and ef-m 22mm pancake lens from a friend for 300 which seems like a steal to me. Even though regarded as the smallest dslr, its still way too big for me to be considered as an everyday carry camera that can fit into my jacket pocket. Currently using my Canon SL1 (100D) and loving magic lantern.
