I'm waiting for the 5DMKIII release
I think they are working on it so you may not have a long wait
Yes. Alpha release was last week but it is still fairly limited.

I wonder that as well does any one have a photo posted that they could say they got because the firmware helped.

Magic Lantern isn't really for photography. it's more designed for videography. almost all of its features are geared towards use of Live View.
there's really only 1 feature i use, i install it in-the-field when i need it. that feature is low FPS shooting, i use that instead of intervalometer to create time-lapse videos. saves the shutter and gives me a video file

Cracking thanks for that that rules me out apart from a short test clip me and video not really often lol
I'm the same, I sue it mostly for time lapse, it has some nice features for that like the intervalometer and bulb ramper.
For those that play with HDR, it allows you to expand the number of shots you can get in one go if you know what I mean. Instead of the standard 3 exposures it can be expanded to 9 I think it is.
Crop marks is a good thing too that might help with someones composition. It comes with a set of cropmarks, mainy for video but you can add your own if you want. One that I added was a square crop. When you look at live view you have a square to compose your shot in. The camera still takes the full image obviously.

I'm using it more and more for stills
Auto HDR bracketing is good, you take one "correctly" exposed image and the software takes as many images as needed to capture the full dynamic range in the image.
Auto focus stacking is not bad, and the live view focus tools are quite useful as is the motion detection.
You can chose not to load ML at start up if you don't want to use it all the time.
