The first version will have audio meters, lens data and maybe manual audio gain plus monitoring on the A/V jack.

Thanks to the assistance of arm.indy and an anonymous contributor, we were able to sign an initial Magic Lantern firmware image and port the existing code to work with the version 1.0.8 firmware in the 550D. I am very proud to announce that we have started support for the Canon 550D / T2i in a branch of the Magic Lantern tree. Here’s what the programmer of Magic Lantern has to say: It adds stereo audio meters, audio level control and other features to make the camera more usable for professional video recording. Magic Lantern is a firmware hack for the Canon 5D MarkII that turns off the auto-gain in the audio recording section of the camera. If you want to shoot high-end video with this camera you’ve had to use a separate microphone and audio recorder to capture high-end audio. Magic Lantern – 550D/T2i port from Trammell Hudson on Vimeo. Head on over to the Magic Lantern to read more about the new features, or download the update using the link below.Magic Lantern is coming to the Canon T2i (550D). The money also allows them to continue developing updates and possibly get them working with newer cameras, like the Canon 5D Mark III and the Canon T4i. This stuff isn't easy, and all of the added features have taken years to really implement. The team at Magic Lantern have worked incredibly hard, so if you do use your camera for professional jobs, and you install ML on your DSLR, it might not be a bad thing to head on over to their site and donate a few bucks.
