Ryan I am with you all of the way. Is it even possible? People are doing it with HV20s, aren’t they? I wonder why these Canon DSLRs aren’t doing this. I am also very impressed with the nanoFlash doodad, and would totally get one if what you are asking becomes a reality.

Thanks Chuck!
I had a chat with SmallHD yesterday. Very helpful people. I believe they have a good product, but I’ve never used it. I plan on getting their DP1 for my next big gig (who knows when that will be). I’d be even more thrilled if there was an internal waveform monitor and vector scope, but I’m sure that’s asking way too much for the price.inconveniencethemovie.com

Unless there has been a recent fix I don’t know about, the sensor on the D90 gets hot pretty fast. The camera will shut itself down to cool off. I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to record very long, even without a 4-5 min limit on clips.

Rich,
Do you use battery power for your set-up?inconveniencethemovie.com

Thanks Robbie!
Maybe I should just bite the bullet and spend the dough. Good support gear lends to great cinematography probably more than the camera, but I have such a hard time getting my head around it because the camera is the central part of the rig. I like the idea of the Z-Finder, but I’m more of a field monitor kind of guy.Is there a good hdmi field monitor option for the 7D that won’t break the bank? I like the smallHD monitor, though it’s not cheap. Dang, I’m such a penny pincher!

I use Final Cut Pro with my 7D, but I do transcode all of my footage to ProRes before editing. It works great! Compressor is an excellent tool for transcoding the 7D footage, allowing me to slow my 60p footage to 24p.
I actually downloaded a trial version of Vegas on a Dell laptop this weekend, and I really like the interface, but I felt handcuffed, mostly because I don’t understand what tools are available to me. I imported the H.264 files from the 7D, and tried to edit, but I couldn’t get real-time playback. I’m sure my hardware was not up to snuff for that footage. It was pretty much impossible to edit under those conditions. I probably should have used Vegas to convert the files to something less resource intensive. Maybe I’ll try that and see what happens. Unfortunately, I haven’t found a good solution for editing 7D files natively.

Awesome camera! Shoots beautiful 1080 24p video. There are drawbacks, such as aliasing and workflow, but for the price you get excellent lens options, shallow depth of field, sharp 1080p, and great color rendition.
