Canon 550d Magic Lantern
Don't know what I would have done without it. It makes my Sony V1 that cost £3000 look pants. The first dance footage on my V1 was rubbish and grainy as hell. The 550d with a 50mm F1.8 looks mint. Also my Zoom H1 recorder (£80) saved my life as my £500 Sennheiser radio mic kept dropping out.

Re: Canon 550d Magic Lantern
Mike I swear by my Zooms H1s and voice recorders, they do save ya... What ISO did you use for the low light dance with the 1.8 lens?

Re: Canon 550d Magic Lantern
I go up to ISO3200 occasionally and get footage that is more than acceptable. ISO3200 gives you an extra 3 stops, or 8x as much light as ISO 400. For me that extra light at receptions is more than worth it for the amount of noise you get.

Re: Canon 550d Magic Lantern
I've shot ISO 3200 often - a bit noisy but easily fixed in PP. ISO 400? Fine if you have lots of light, but not needed.
