Slight clarification… much of the monitor use will be on “studio acquisition,” so size and cost, while important, are not the main requirements: the shooter wants to be confident that footage displayed on the monitor will be what it really looks like in post so he doesn’t have to spend a lot of time “fixing it.”
Thanks for the input from all. I am doing this query for a fellow who comes from 35mm film background and is considering the D5 as an additional tool.
