After a couple of years the camera broke and I ended up buying a Canon 550D because it did full HD video.
DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel
In work I am lucky to be able to practice my grading on a Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel, a blessing considering the price of them.
We also have a more portable Micro Panel which I can use whenever I need, it is a scaled down version of the larger panels and retains some of the most used functions.
The reference monitor in the grading suite is a Sony 30" BVM-X300 4K OLED - it's professional reference monitor that displays 10-bit 4K OLED.

We also recently started utilising PluralEyes for syncing certain types of clips that hadn't been boarded etc - it just reads on-camera audio and external and matches it that way, but it's very handy to have when you have several hours worth of footage.
I was using Capture One Pro for a while, and it's better image editing software than Lightroom for sure, however jumping back between LR and PS is made so easy it's kind of hard to not use it.
