What others say[]

Why use an HDSLR and Magic Lantern? Because a Canon T2i, also known as the 550d only costs about $700 without a lens. Combine this with the great depth-of-field that can be had with SLR lenses and you have a powerful tool that in many instances can compete with cameras costing more than $10,000.

Adding this firmware will take your $800 camera and turn it into a $2000 beast

Magic Lantern firmware is the best thing to happen to DSLR shooting with the 550D. The Focus Peaking tools are amazing!
