Yes, I just don't see the point for a non live view camera.

The thing that concerns me is the warning not to ever power it up with a card 
without an autoexec.bin file - and to 
remove the battery within 5 seconds if you do.

Sure, I can put the file on every card I've got. But with CHDK, I formatted a 
card, instead of erasing all images, a 
couple of times. Then no CHDK - OK, no disaster. A similar slip with Magic 
Lantern does sound like disaster.

I still haven't decided how serious the risk is and whether there's a practical 
way to minimize it, so I haven't tried 
ML. I sure would like that two button method of getting into movie mode, though.
