Thinking of buying camera
1

I lost interest in photography... but i lost interest in everything to be honest.. so I want to start photography again but directionless.. So let me start at somewhere..

I want to buy camera for less price.

1) Will magic lantern work in T6i ( I see T6i with 18-55 & 55-250 for $599 in ebay).

2) Will newer cameras have capabilities of magic lantern? ( such as trap focus / HDR / intervelometer etc )

One of the key segments of photography is subject matter.  What subject matter would be interesting for you?  Would it be beautiful scenes, buildings, automobiles, birds, insects, people, or sports etc.?  From my perspective, I would would suggest purchasing a camera and lens that would fit within budget that would help you find those things of interest.

I'm not familiar enough about Magic Lantern to give you answers about that.  But I would expect that a search on YouTube or other areas on the internet should be able to give you the answers you need.  If buying a relatively inexpensive camera and lens helps you develop an interest in photography, I would expect that you would want to buy an upgraded system later (so don't worry about not having the latest and greatest).  But you need to have that interest first.  Otherwise, buying something you don't enjoy will just go to some place like in the closet or back into the box.

I have never used magic lantern, but newer cameras, especially mirrorless, M4/3 and the better bridge cameras have very powerful processors built in.  Basically they are a computer in a box with a lens.

Get a camera kit that feels good in your hands, a viewfinder you like, and a price you are comfortable with.  Lenses will always cost more and are longer lasting than the camera.
