The only person to mention the 550d is you, not me. My posts only ever mentioned the 60d and the 7d both of which do not have the auto gain limiter that the 5d applys to audio.

Please read. I didn't mention Manual Audio nor did I say the 7D was compatible with Magic Lantern firmware. I merely stated reasons why it may not be as useful as it is for 5D owners. Perhaps you think your post count gives you license to throw your weight around or perhaps you are that...

The interface hasn't gone down massively well with the old guard but change is often frowned upon. The real question mark lies in what the plan is...

My first post and hopefully first contribution to the forum. For those of your using Canon DSLRs for video, Technicolor have released a picture style preset which can be loaded onto your cameras. This will give you a flat image ideal for colour grading in post production. The picture style is...
