Hi, King Arthur, Videomaker's reviewer, Luke Scherba, just reviewed this product and I think he is also a user. Here's his review:

Ive used the Ninja and like it in concept, but little issues like that have cropped up for me as well. It also tends to overheat with event based recording (longer record times) and you have to watch that HDMI input!

Hello kingarthur

I did review the Atomos Ninja, it was a great product. However I did not test a LANC cable between it and a camera.

Here is a statement from Atomos saying it will work with Sony and Canon cameras:
