I was thinking of uploading Magic Lantern into my camera. But the websites give warnings that it may harm your camera, but as of 2009, their have been no reports. But once in a while a thread pops up where someone's camera is harmed or will not work as a result. Is it risky? And if I sell my camera in the feature, will the firmware installation make the camera less worthy for sale in any way? I did research but sites and people I have talked to all have something different to say.
How risky is firmware?

Magic Lantern is loaded onto your memory card. Delete ML from the card, or put in a brand new card, et voila... no more Magic Lantern.
The only issue I've had with ML is when I plug in my cheap-o external monitor. Plugs & power have to be switched on in a certain order, or the battery dies and it has to be recharged. Trial & error fixing figuring that one out.
Your mileage may vary.

I've heard about that issue with monitors, too, but the trade off is so worth it, ML is killer
firmware is risky..
It likes to ride Motor cross without a helmet!
It regularly skydives
Its into extreme snowboarding
and engages in anonymous unprotected sex
stay away from firmware.

Lol.
Well I went to the Magic Lantern site, and they asked what camera I want to download it for. They list the 5D, 7D, etc. But they don't list the T2i. Should I just say 7D, cause it may be closest?

"Magic Lantern 2.3 works on: 5Dmk2 2.1.2, 50D 1.0.9, 60D 1.1.1, 500D 1.1.1, 550D 1.0.9, 600D 1.0.2"
Your continued inability to find the most basic piece of information is astounding.
500D=t1i. 550D=t2i. 600D=t3i etc.
In my part of the world they aren't even advertised as 't#i' and it wasn't until this forum that I knew they were the same.
Silly Canon.

Of course, some people may well have the Kiss X4, X5, X6i... same thing also.
thats kinda cool.. look at the marketing demographic..
550D = Europe. Very official, technical sounding.. other European model numbers of interest, 230SL?
T2i=US, sounds like a revision of the Terminator robots.. T2000, T3000, T2i, throwing in the lowercase "i" cause everyone is doing it.. "iphone" etc..
KISS X4 = Japan. Might have more to do with the shape of the letters then actual translation.. or like all 80's bands, KISS is still big in Japan, upto 4X big!
