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

And this

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

What's the difference between a CANON EOS 20D and 30D?
Q. I know that 30D is updated but what features does it have that a 20D doesn't?
A. The Canon EOS 30D is a mild evolution of the 20D.
New features / changes compared to the EOS 20D:
- Redesigned body (more EOS 5D like)
- Larger LCD monitor (2.5")
- Soft-touch shutter release button
- AE/AF lock remains set if shutter is kept half-pressed between shots
- Faster startup and wake from sleep times
- Direct print button on rear of camera (woo!)
- Spot metering
-100,000 shot shutter cycle
- ISO selectable in third stop steps
- ISO speed shown in viewfinder as you change it (still not once changed though)
- Selectable 5 or 3 fps continuous shooting
- PictureStyles instead of simple image parameters
- 9,999 images per folder (instead of 100 as per the EOS 20D)
- 15 menu languages (3 new)
You can read more about it here:

And here, to compare the two cameras:

http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=12929
In any case, they both have 8.2 Megapixels and the difference isn't that big. The 30D is about $300 more expensive (prices taken from amazon.com, but it varies according to the stores). So, if you are going to buy your first digital SLR, a 20D will do, in my opinion. I know professionals who use a 20D (the 30D is new). But if you want to go professional and you are willing to invest more money, a 30D might be a better choice.
