External monitor for Canon 7D
Anyone have any suggestions on this?
All I’m looking for is to use the monitor for focusing. -

Ehhhh…affordable yes. Good for focusing? Not at all. With only 800×480, getting that crit focus the 7D is going to be hard to get with that rez. Remember, you’re dealing with 1080-freakin-p footage here with a camera that can produce DOF as thin as the side of a dime.
In this case, I would say cheaper is not better :'(

Than’s for the input Ryan. Any thoughts on an alternative?

This is what I have.
Better rez, with things like false color to help you out. Heaftier price too, just about the same price of the 7D, but dont let that fact steer you awa from a very important peice of equiptment.

I have read a bit about that monitor and it seems pretty great.
Like you said; a bit heafty pris but certainly money well spent.
I guess I’ll have to start saving up. One can predict there are going to be a wide variety of monitors for dslr:s in a not to far future though…Göran

I encourage u to still look around though. Marshal is a nice little company, and they do have a nice range foe field/on-board camera monitors. While 800×480 isn’t ideal, it would have to work if that’s what u can afforde at the moment.
Key thing is, do some jobs with what u got, then use that money to start saving up for better things.

Look at Small HD… or use an HDMI to SDI converter and an existing HD monitor

I’m hearing great response on the DP1 which is affordable.
