Cheap HDMI Field Monitor?

Q. Is there any cheap HDMI field monitor, for under 100$ preferably? At least 7"

A. There is nothing "cheap" about HDMI field monitors, but for around $200 you can find a number of them

But for any quality, you need to consider something like this

You did not mention if you were using this monitor with a dSLR. If so, you need to spend some time on this link

By the time you add all the accessories necessary to make your dSLR a viable video camera, you could buy a real video camera

Canon T3i for feature film?

Q. Does anyone use this camera for shooting features? I'd like to know the pros and cons. I've been doing my research and so far it seems that this is a great camera for me to get for start shooting features (and it's more in my price range than the 7D which I also love). However, one con that concerned me that I've read about is when the camera is moving (panning, rotating, tilting etc) it goes out of focus and this isn't apparent while shooting, it is only shown during playback.

Also how great is the depth of field? Could I focus the foreground and blur the background or vice versa?

Please share your thoughts and if you feel this camera is good for shooting a feature 90 minute (or even longer) movie.

Thanks!
