Recording clean HDMI

Sound Devices Pix 220 is probably the best recorder I've seen when I was looking around at them a few months ago.

Sound devices makes some of the best mixers and preamps in the game, and they threw a recorder on top of a preamp with XLR ins. Has a 3:2 pulldown removal built in, nice monitor, SSD or CF card recording options, ProRes, etc. More expensive, but most features for the total price makes it worth it, IMO

Blackmagic hyperdecks are cheap, but lack any more features than just recording. SSD's so kind of pricy, no audio ins, no monitor, no 3:2 pulldown.

AJA Ki Pro Mini's are large, no monitor, but XLR inputs, dual CF card recording, very standard use in the industry. Cant remember if it has 3:2 pulldown or not. Most expensive though around $1900.

Convergent Designs Nanoflashes don't have XLR, use sony EX format, dual CF cards

Thank you sir.

I'll be sure to keep you posted as I look more. This 5dIII firmware looks awesome, I might pick one up when it releases to see how it is!

Ya, I want to see if the change in picture is gonna be worth the investment.

Hopefully the ML team cracks it before Canon releases and we can get a preview. I mean, I definitely would not be opposed to a prores copy of a FF output from my mkIII. It's a beautiful sensor and has the potential, but i'd love to see it before committing. And 6 months away :(

I'm not sure about canon, but the pix220 doesn't do anything for the fs100/700. This guy did a pretty legit test doing avchd 420 24mbps vs pix220 prores 422 220mpbs and honestly you couldn't see a difference, even on the downloaded version. The only reason to ever get an external recorder is for keying or very heavy grading.
