While you can no longer buy a new Canon 50D, they are still floating around used in the neighborhood of $500 give or take. Magic Lantern is a free software add-on that runs from the SD/CF card and adds a host of new features to Canon EOS cameras that weren't included from the factory by Canon. Just imagine if Canon unlocked the power of these cameras from day one – without the need to hack them for additional functionality…

Planet5D says of the development: Now, please realize, much of this isn’t like full 4k with choose what ever you want fps, bit rate. Yet another feature rears its head from the firmware modders at Magic Lantern, this time boosting the dynamic range of Canon SLRs to a whopping 14 stops. What started as an April Fool’s joke has actually turned out to be reality. Check out some early sample footage from the 50D operating at 1592 x 720 resolution. It looks like Magic Lantern has done it again, this time proving that they can get 4K video recording onto the Canon EOS 5D Mark III. Also, this particular camera can now record at, I think. While we’re not going to see the quality and resolution that we are from the 5D Mark III, the early results are very promising for this discontinued camera. I recently purchased an 5d mk iii and installed magic lantern on it. Magic Lantern was originally written for the Canon EOS 5D Mark II by Trammell Hudson in 2009 after he reverse engineered its firmware. By taking advantage of the 50D’s ability to push out a video feed from the sensor for live view, the Magic Lantern crew dug further to apply what they’ve learned from recent 5D Mark III and 5D Mark II experiments to draw raw video out of the 50D. With the new Magic Lantern experimental build for the 5D Mark III, we have an amazing 4K and 3.5K 10bit lossless raw mode with Super 35mm continuous recording.

Just when we thought the Magic Lantern madness couldn’t get any crazier, they go and enable raw video capture on the 5-year-old Canon 50D.
