I was just browsing the Pinnacle web site looking at their historical futures data (CLC Database), it seems like a good deal. The question is however, and maybe I'm just missing something bloody obvious on the website, but what is the resolution of the data? Beyond that, does anybody use this product, any pros/cons?

Check out premiumdata.net as well. I use them and Pinnacle. Premiumdata.net has additional contracts not covered by pinnacle, plus they are significantly cheaper. But their full history is not quite as extensive as pinnacle (for example I think corn goes back to 1970 with premiumdata and 1959 with pinnacle although that's from memory and I'm not sure I'm remembering it correctly).
CSI is the gold standard but you pay through the nose for it. For most purposes you don't need them.
Another option is disktrading.com although their data is more limited, but it includes intraday and tick data as well.
