Magic Lantern 2.3 is here – and it looks pretty good

The testing phase for Magic Lantern 2.3 is over. Magic Lantern 2.3 release version is now here and the creators say it’s no longer a “hack”.

We can safely say it’s no longer a hack, but it’s strongly heading towards a solid piece of engineering that you can trust.
We have worked a lot on bug-fixing and usability improvements and we sincerely hope you will find it a great companion for all your shooting sessions – from hobbyist to professional.

Is it the 5D mark 5? No, it’s a framegrab from the RED Epic-m camera that Vincent Laforet took at 96 frames per second, ISO 800. It’s 5K. That’s about 14 Megapixels.

Why? You go ahead and answer that question in the comments.
And if you’re as impressed as I am let us not forget that these cameras push the resolution, but don’t necessarily keep the quality and sharpness there as some others do.

Come on Canon, we need an update to our cameras already.
