so as they have HDMI input or some other future connector.

That would be beautiful (10" screen). I wonder how much they are and when they are available? I agree too, the future of having HDTV on screen with HDMI inputs is already on it's way. Check out the following links on Philip Bloom's website featuring monitors with the Canon products:

They will be great monitors, as long as you don't need features a production monitor offers (focus assist, wfm, proper color and exposure representation, etc.). I let my cam do these functions and get away with a 19" hdtv and a few cheap 7" HD lcds from coollcd.com at the moment. But eventually someone will give me grief about it Im sure.

Thanks for posting that splitter, may need one soon!

When I see someone like Robert Rodriguez not only embracing the Canon DSLR but pimping it out the way he did with HDMI cables, you know this format is here to stay. It won't look so clunky in another year or two either, guaranteed.

Thanks for the coollcd.com link too, great prices on this site!
