The Zacuto ecf pro is fantastic, go for the gratifical if you have the money
Very surprised that noone has mentioned CVP.com, they are fantastic for uk orders
I feel that I could have some input here seeing as I went from owning a 550d-5dm2-black magic 2.5k-black magic pocket and now to the canon c100, When I owned one I felt like it was a massive leap of faith, I shot one music video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhSBocg1RsM For a start the ergonomics are horrible on the 2.5k, the screen is a big mirror and the crop is horrible...however if you are willing to deal with that (and have the money to) then it does produce a fantastic image hope this helps
I would really look at the higher end small hd, marshall monitors, a monitor really does make a huge difference in how you frame a scene. For me, The atomos ninja blade is fantastic (just got one and would never not use it) Maybe try and push your budget a little further
I think he means is there anyway to improve the video out res, If that is the case...Then no it is built into the camera sadly. You could always look at upgrading to a gh4 or possibly a 5d (both have clean hdmi out)
