you could buy an atomos ninja, since magic lantern can remove all the info and focus box etc from your hdmi output. I do believe the semi transparent letterbox is still there which needs to be cropped in post.

In your opinion(s), why don't more people do this? Wouldn't DSLR video folks prefer this to getting a separate field monitor and burning through CF cards?

Also, are the settings within Magic Lantern applied to the Ninja ProRes 422 recording, or does it record a stock setting?

I have no ninja, but I know the ninja is set independently from the camera. Among the things that would impact it is resolution, picture style and fps since that is what that will be recorded through hdmi.
I could be wrong on one of those.

Sucks that there isn't a medium-quality option for those of us who aren't equipped to handle RAW. If there is a Ninja recorder that can record ProRes 422, AND the EOS architecture can handle recording something as robust as RAW video, why isn't there an intermediary format, or the option to record directly to ProRes 422?

Please forgive the ignorance and excitement!

what do you usually use video for? Long projects like events and weddings? or Corporate stuff thats shorter? I'm asking because I currently have a mid range quad core and I'm using it to run resolve which is free and do initial color grade of the RAW footage before exporting the clips to h264 for editing on my NLE.

Somewhere between the noticeable artifacts of H.264 and the superbly rendered and data-rich RAW format.

Seems like someone much smarter than me could figure out a way to capture ProRes 422 in real-time, but I have no idea how complicated a task that would be.

There are many many more variables in attempting to load logic into the hardware, than it is hooking into the raw buffers and extracting frames. Something that will not happen on DSLRs in the near future unless you want to get rowdy with essentially hard porting into the bus or interfacing to an external prores encoder via this as a sort of pass through if you can figure out communication.
