UPDATE: 4K comes to the T2i

UPDATE: According to International Filmmaker Philip Bloom, who has been in communication with the said creator of this firmware, it has been sold to Canon. Please be advised that this is only information that was sent to him via email. HD DSLRs have certainly shook the game up forever, but for now, Magic Lantern is what we have on hand, and proven. Check out Philip's blog to read the humorous, original email.

Happy New Year! As we said previously, you will not find rumors on this site. But some things you just can't miss. A 3rd party firmware will be released next year on 1/1/11, according to PetaPixel, CrunchGear and a guy on YouTube known as "Earz62801." According to the posts, the firmware will allow 2K, 3K and 4K recording on the T2i between 45MB/s and 175MB/s. He also plans on releasing updates for other members of the EOS family. The max recording time for 4K is 6 seconds. Given the unfamiliar background of the creator, and the sudden announcement with a 1/1/11 release date, this likely is about as real as the RAW video 5Dmkii. However, it certainly is more feasable.

On a more legitimate note, Canon did reveal it's 4K DSLR-like concept earlier this year.
