magic lantern canon 6d vs. 5d magic lantern

in early builds due to bugs in ML and is not something to be overly concerned about because you just have to take out the battery (or just open the battery door), re-insert it, done. Here's my experience with ML after 2.5 years on 60d 3 month 6d: You have to differentiate between 'crash' and 'brick'. This is the worst moment I have had using ML and of course it was user error and no permanent damage done. For instance, putting a card formatted with the 7D version in my 5DII has the effect of not letting the 5DII turn on - this is only because the 7D version (as with 6D and 5DII) is 'alpha' and not part of the unified build yet and I had the autoboot version on there. Even if you don't though, you are still unlikely to break/brick your camera.

The number of people who can clearly not follow instructions is evident on the ML forum help pages. You should of course read all instructions and actually follow them. The fact is the whole ML software is well enough advanced that any version that gets put out there for people to install is (again JMO) very unlikely to cause any damage. Really, when I think about what they do it's quite remarkable. I don't have a 6D, but the 7D version is stable and while I have occasionally had a broken feature, I often download lightly builds without any problems. They are very competent and always cautious. However, the ML team reminds me a lot of the brilliant software engineers I have the pleasure of working with (I'm not one of them). If loosing your camera would lose your livelihood, I'd not risk it. Obviously no-one is going to guarantee anything with regard to ML.
