Magic Lantern on Canon EOS 550D / T2i - great for extreme low light video

Finally got around to playing with this mod on my 60D. I did a side by side video comparison with my camcorder in extreme low light to see how the performance compares. The motion is significantly blurred by the low framerate of course, but that shouldn't be an issue when shooting storms, and I'll probably be making timelapses out of this anyway. Camcorder is a Sony HDR-XR500 shooting at 60 interlaced frames per second (left) compared with a Canon 60D and a 50mm f/1.8 ISO 1600 shooting at 4 progressive frames per second (right):
