This might be off topic for this thread, but how does recording to a external capture device look like with the ML hack on the 5D MKIII?  I know it'll capture at 4:2:2, but does it look better than the OEM firmware or is it the same?

If you want portability, the EOS-M will do BMPCC like dynamic range at 720p. You can use all your lenses.  If you can live with 720p, and some post-processing extra work, bodies are about $250.  I maintain a thread on ML here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=8825.msg82944#msg82944  (hope you don't mind the link Andrew)

For what I want to do with the BMPCC, I can definitely live with 720P.  Maybe I'll buy the 5DMKiii and a EOS-M.  Will take a look at the forum and such.

Thanks for the info!  

Really torn between the 5D mkiii and BMPCC.  I already own a bunch of Canon lenses, but would love to have a BMPCC for the portability factor.  After some calculations, seems like i'd have to invest about a total of $5k towards the BMPCC package to cover all the lenses, body and accessories I'd need.  Does that seem about right?
