I would think that focus peaking would be a great tool for using a TS-E lens, is it?

As is Trap Focus.

Understandably, I'm more excited about this news than the 6D.

This is excellent news indeed.
Hopefully it wont take much time to get the actual software out for people to use. Its been a while since the 7D has been out.

I miss this on Nikons (parallel effort under way for the d800 by another team, but not sure how soon before they have something).

If I understand correctly, I have to have a copy of ML on each memory card and allow the camera to load when turned on.

Would somebody confirms please. Thanks.

I believe that is correct. this allows quick return to the original firmware.

this is huge news. I was debating letting my 7d go since for video, the 12 minute time limit was killing me, not
anymore.

Question about HDR bracketing. How many shots does ML take? I checked the User Guide and it doesn't specify the number of shots. It would be awesome if it can take more than 3 bracket shots. I usually find that 5 shots is the ideal number.

On my 5D2 it's a maximum of 9 shots

This was pretty much my tipping point (combined with the lack of interesting new bodies from Canon) to trade in my 60D for a 7D. Hoping it won't take too long for the release.

Sweet!! That'll make easier to create a light probe. You have no idea how happy you've just made me feel.

I almost pulled the 7D off the market a few days ago when I saw ML was finally being ported over. It's been a long time coming, but since I mainly use the 5dII, it'd be nice to have the articulating screen of the 60D. Hopefully, you'll get some use out of the 7D!
