There is no question in my mind. The monitor is great and the Ki Pro works with everything else. I just thought that the HDMI out from the 60D would get me at least an SD image while recording, but it does not. So I need to use the composite connection directly to the monitor. Good to know though. If I had bought a monitor specifically for that camera (Canon 60D) that only had HDMI in, I would be a little disappointed.
As to your point about the Ki Pro and the monitor, I couldn’t agree more. It is just a beautiful thing to record that nice Prores codec via HDSDI and monitor it on the Panny.Norman Lang

I love shooting with my XL H1 and the Ki Pro. So yes, nice to shoot with a video camera. I just saw a presentation by Richard Harrington up here in Boston, where he mentioned using AJA with a Panasonic Monitor, so I assumed he was doing some kind of signal conversion. I guess you are saying that can’t happen. I am OK with that, I just thought I was doing something wrong. It looks ok using the composite out. I have been reluctant to go down the HDSLR just because I like a camera with auto focus (if needed), a nice form factor, XLR audio connections, and SDI out connections. But like many of us, the damn picture is just so cool on these little cameras, that we wind up sacrificing a lot of the niceties of the “established” video world. I really thought I could outsmart the system by taking the HDMI out to the Ki Pro and upres it to my monitor. Who do I think I am? Phillip Bloom?
