I was told by someone at Canon that they would “bring the might of its legal team” to anyone that attempts to modify at the software level, the features of an EOS-1 camera body

With 600D you are stuck to 1620x912 in video mode embedded in 1080i59.94 8-bit. Black borders around and you have to crop and - maybe - scale up.
200D HDMI stream with ML is clean with MF but AF will still draw a focus rectangle. But at least true FHD via HDMI.
AF with 600D in liveview: Phase detection only. Focus hunting galore. 200D comes with usable DPAF.
I prefer 250D for streaming. Dual display support, no 30 minute limit for HDMI out (but cam display will go dark until some button action).
But there’s no way to skip HDMI right? I mean I’m not familiar with ML, but think whether some wiring can be spared. Don’t these cameras expose wifi of some sort?
IMHO even 800x600 is okay for most streaming needs. And particularly when sound quality is of primary importance.
600D doesn't have WiFi.
You can stream via HDMI or USB.
USB stream for cams not supporting UVC (in general every EOS before Digic X and even some of those) is limited to 576p. Don't get your hopes high subscribing to EOS Webcam Utility Pro. Canon says it is able to deliver 720p and 1080p but they are scaled up from 576p.
And you need a dedicated mic. No audio support via USB or HDMI in early cams.
- Lua script support.
It is not complete (in ML hardly anything is) but allows to access a lot of ML and Canon functions. Years ago someone made a script for automating solar eclipse shooting catching all critical phases while chilling and enjoying the view.
- Introduced full electronic shutter (Silent Pic) for Digic 4 and 5.
- Focus stacking for macro and - via Lua script - for landscape.
- Exposure simulation switch for "cheaper" cams
- Trap focus
- Dual-ISO. Some HDR mode but without ghosting by manipulating sensor lines to record at different ISOs
- Ghost image overlay
- Customizable cropmark overlays (grids and others)
- Fps finetuning. Several folks used it to record vintage monitors with very, very strange timings and without rolling bars.30.01 fps? No problem!
- Zebras and focus peaking, vectorscope, wavelength monitoring, false colour support
- RAW histogram
- Bracketing with up to 11 frames (But why? ;-> )
- Intervalometer and bracketing (a bit more configurable than Canon has now)
- Trigger by LCD's IR sensor (if any) or Audio (clap your hand) or motion detect
- Rack focus
- Display mirroring and upside/down options
- Configurable presets (up to 15)
- 30 minutes override for RAW recording, USB and HDMI streaming. Oh, and we have a new option to record native H.264/MOV for more than 29:59. Prototype but working.
-Better AF micoradjustment for the cams having that option by Canon.
- ,,,
Frankly: I once tried to maintain a help file and browsed through a lot of lesser known features. Took me days and I didn't even test RAW/MLV recording.
