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

Original Question

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!

A. Canon EOS Rebel T3i is good for videos too. Read this review from a user:

http://www.amazon.com/review/R5O3RQJXIOBDC/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B004J3V90Y&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=faurms-20

This camera is currently ranked as number 1 in the top 100 DSLR cameras on amazon.Some of its features are:

- 18.0 MP CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor for high image quality and speed
- ISO 100 - 6400 for shooting from bright to dim light
- Vari-angle 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor (3:2) for shooting at high or low angles and 1,040,000-dot VGA with reflection reduction
- Video Snapshot features for enhanced video shooting options
- Comes with camera body, EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Type II lens, eyecup, wide strap, USB cable, AV cable, battery, and charger

I need ideas for a good High definition DSLR camera?

Q. Hey guys

Im looking to buy a brand new Digital SLR camera that takes good High Definition photos AND it has to also be very good at taking High definition videos. Please tell me what you think is best.... The most I am willing to pay is $1,500 but I would prefer to keep it under $1000.

Thanks in advance

A. As of yet buying a Nikon DSLR for even moderate video use would be insane. The rolling shutter issues are terrible and there is very little manual control. The d3100 does look promising however.

The pentax k-x, while probably a good stills camera, is not well suited for video

In your price range, you are looking at:

Canon Rebel t2i: Great low budget HDSLR. Captures images quite similar to the 7d at a lower price. I own a 7d and purchased it only for video use. It is great. The t2i is very similar with a cheaper plastic construction.

Canon EOS 60d: Probably your best choice. Great images, better than t2i, almost as good as 7d. Has a swiveling lcd monitor which is great for video.

Conclusion: There are a ton of great DSLRs out there, but the Canons FAR surpass the others as far as video is concerned. Canon DSLRs are being used to help shoot large Hollywood productions.

All others are very poor as far as video is concerned, with the exception of the GH1 and soon to be released GH2. These camera from panasonic are quite good for video, but will not take as good of stills as the larger sensored Canons, and will not be very good in low light. Canon is currently the clear frontrunner. Look up Philip Bloom and Vincent LaForet on vimeo to see what these cameras are capable of.

Should I buy the Canon T3i or T2i?

Q. I'm buying a new SLR camera, coming from a Sony ax, and I'm set on either a T3i or T2i. I will be primarily using the camera for filming but of course for photography, too. I'm told that it's not worth the extra money to buy the T3i because the T2i is just a good. So which one?

A. If you want a vari-angle 3.0-inch LCD monitor and wireless flash photography get a Canon EOS Rebel T3i. if no want that features get a Canon EOS Rebel T2i.

Original Question

External/Field Monitor recommendation for focus in videography?

Q. Hey guys, I shoot music videos with my Canon 7D. I often have to adjust my manual focus on a moving subject. However, I have at times found it hard to determine if I have the most accurate focus on the subject on the small LCD screen on the back of the camera. Depending on the environment and space restrictions, it may be difficult to be right behind the camera looking closely at the pixels to see if they are in 100% focus as opposed to like 90%. I am currently researching external/field monitors to attach or mount to my 7d and or tripod. Originally when starting to search, I was looking for a monitor with NATIVE resolution of 1080p, but I'm starting to think that these aren't very common, if made at all. Even some 3,000 monitors are only 800x400 native resolution. The most common high resolution I've seen so far is 1024x600. There are a few exceptions. The really expensive monitors have all of these cool features but I don't believe I will need any of that. I usually shoot a neutral/flat picture style and then do my color grading and editing in post-production with Sony Vegas Pro; so the extra features won't be needed at the time of production. My main purpose of getting an external monitor is to be able to more easily determine if I have maximum focus on my subject. I would not like to spend more than $400 if possible. I believe a 7inch would probably be my best bet with an hdmi connector. Does anyone have recommendations for my situation? Or thoughts on what to consider when researching these external monitors? Will there be a dramatic difference in determining focus in a cheaper 800x400 monitor vs more expensive 1024x600 monitor?

Thanks guys!

What kind of canon dslr should I get?

Q. I have been borrowing one of my relatives canon rebel t2i for about 4 months and I really like it and am planning to buy my own canon camera. I don't know which one to get and I don't have much knowledge about camera. I want to get something better than the t2i.

A. I think you should consider Canon EOS Rebel T3i, it's a best dslr camera that has 18 MP, a vari-angle 3.0-inch LCD monitor, Full HD Movie mode.

If you want a vari-angle 3.0-inch LCD monitor and wireless flash photography get a Canon EOS Rebel T3i. if no want that features get a Canon EOS Rebel T2i.

Should I buy the Canon T3i or T2i?

Q. I'm buying a new SLR camera, coming from a Sony ax, and I'm set on either a T3i or T2i. I will be primarily using the camera for filming but of course for photography, too. I'm told that it's not worth the extra money to buy the T3i because the T2i is just a good. So which one?

A. If you want a vari-angle 3.0-inch LCD monitor and wireless flash photography get a Canon EOS Rebel T3i. if no want that features get a Canon EOS Rebel T2i.

External/Field Monitor recommendation for focus in videography?

Q. Hey guys, I shoot music videos with my Canon 7D. I often have to adjust my manual focus on a moving subject. However, I have at times found it hard to determine if I have the most accurate focus on the subject on the small LCD screen on the back of the camera. Depending on the environment and space restrictions, it may be difficult to be right behind the camera looking closely at the pixels to see if they are in 100% focus as opposed to like 90%. I am currently researching external/field monitors to attach or mount to my 7d and or tripod. Originally when starting to search, I was looking for a monitor with NATIVE resolution of 1080p, but I'm starting to think that these aren't very common, if made at all. Even some 3,000 monitors are only 800x400 native resolution. The most common high resolution I've seen so far is 1024x600. There are a few exceptions. The really expensive monitors have all of these cool features but I don't believe I will need any of that. I usually shoot a neutral/flat picture style and then do my color grading and editing in post-production with Sony Vegas Pro; so the extra features won't be needed at the time of production. My main purpose of getting an external monitor is to be able to more easily determine if I have maximum focus on my subject. I would not like to spend more than $400 if possible. I believe a 7inch would probably be my best bet with an hdmi connector. Does anyone have recommendations for my situation? Or thoughts on what to consider when researching these external monitors? Will there be a dramatic difference in determining focus in a cheaper 800x400 monitor vs more expensive 1024x600 monitor?

Thanks guys!
