So it will allow me to shoot lossless DNG files instead of lossless CR2 files?

I don't immediately see any advantage.  Purely as a technical exercise it's pretty cool though.

pretty cool, but i would still love them to stick a decent intervalometer on them,
so that you can just select 30 images at 90s and be done with it.

That's the game changer.

MagicLantern does have such an intervalometer already unless they've removed it that is.

I must say though that cancelling a session part way through was a lesson on hit and miss frustration.
