Last year got the new Canon 5dm2. Realized with the video alone, time to switch to Mac. All along thinking iMac 24 would be fine. Now that I start frequenting Mac/Photo sites, I have become uncertain as to how good the panel on the new iMac 24 will be for serious still photo editing.
For context, I have a Canon 5d and 5dm2, and a desire to retire from my day job in a few years and supplement my retirement through Landscape photography.
Money-wise, my company has a substantial computer purchase assistance program, but found out they won't reimburse for monitors over 22". They consider an iMac24 as an item that does not qualify. A Mac Pro would (not the monitor though).
A base Mac Pro with 6GB and ATI Radeon, after rebate very close in price to the iMac24 without a rebate (but still need a monitor).
If the new iMac24 is a editing platform for serious use, then I don't have to consider Mac Pro.
If it isn't, and I decide to get Mac Pro, what monitor around $1k would be a reasonable choice?
I would value any thoughts on my quandry.
Thanks!
