    The Magic Lantern firmware for the 5D Mark II is available for public beta! There are still some very rough edges, but it should be usable for wide-spread testing. In the 0.1.3 version there are:

    - Onscreen stereo audio meters
    - Full-time cropmarks
    - Zebra stripes for overexposed regions
    - Fixed audio gain (+10 dB analog, +12 dB digital) with -NO AGC-
    - Live headphone monitoring on A/V jack (without disabling LCD)
    - printf() to the bitmap display
    - GUI event viewer (press Picture Style button)

    The button remapping was having problems, so it has been pulled out for now.

    The website for more info and downloads is Magic Lantern Firmware Wiki. See the FAQ for most questions regarding the software.

    Keep in mind there are no warranties and no guarantees, and if it breaks your camera you get to keep both pieces.

    Full release notes:
    * Only works with Canon firmware version 1.1.0
    * Only the external mic input is supported
    * Canon firmware will restart if LiveView mode is exited or powersave
    * HDMI, USB and composite video output are disabled
    * Zebras can not be disabled, threshold is not configurable, color can not be changed
    * Canon's onscreen menus will not function correctly (configure everything before booting the Magic Lantern firmware)
    * Picture Style button will bring up an event viewer
    * Digital zoom works
    * Button remapping is currently disabled
    * ALC is disabled
    * Digital gain is fixed at +12 dB
    * Analog gain is set to +10 dB
    * Windcut (highpass filter) is disabled
    * Lowpass filter is enabled with default params
    * EQ params are at the default settings
