Hi trevor - yes focus stacking would be very useful for macro shots. I would love to have the HDR feature it looks like genius how they came up with that (some pixels high iso some low iso - that is in fact if its the same function we are talking about could be different). unfortunately that is not supported on my camera. that function would have been terrific for the Saturn/moon occultations.

I am also a bit scared of the warnings that it can destroy your camera - even if it is unlikely. Has anyone had any issues with this?
I'm considering it for my 60d.

Hi Tony,
I can't remember if it can go past 30 seconds to be honest, you have to set the exposure length, and then set how often you want a picture taken in seconds - I think from memory you take a 7 second exposure and want a gap of 3 seconds you would say a photo every 10 seconds.
As for busted cameras I haven't heard of any, but they do state some of the functions are riskier than others - such as the dual iso photographs being a high risk. The good thing is that it doesn't override the camera in anyway it is on the SD card, so if you don't want to run magic lantern you put a SD card that doesn't have it on.
Cheers
