Is there any other view finder on the market other than the RED Bomb EVF that has a 720p screen on the inside? Or are they all 400-480?
Thanks

I think pretty much all of them are 480. I just picked up a cineroid for cheap, figuring if its only 480 I don't want to pay full price. Works great, and I don't think the low resolution will cause any problems when I use it on run and gun jobs. Won't replace my 8.5" monitor, but a nice addition to my kit.

Was there a reason that you picked the Cineroid over the DP4 other than price? Of all the EVFs, do you have a brand you'd recommend? I have a lot of people saying the DP4 is a good one. That being said does anyone have any experience with the Bomb EVF?

Oh it was just the price, got my cineroid for $450! If I had to pay full price it would be between the Small HD and the Zacuto. I have not used the Dp4, but Small HD makes quality stuff...but Zacuto might have the edge on the superior loupe.

I own the DP4. Check out the threads about the DP4 over in the Sony F3 forum. It's a great EVF for the price.
The Cineroid, Redrock EVF, SmallHD DP4, and Zacuto EVF all fall into the sub-$1,000 EVF area, which are all around 480 lines of horizontal resolution. The RED Bomb EVF and other high-end EVF's, like the black-and-white viewfinders from ENG cameras, are in the $3,000+ range and vary in terms of resolution. The RED Bomb is 1280x720 resolution.
I have used the RED Bomb only once for a short while. The display is great and the ergonomics are nice, but it's proprietary, so it only works with RED cameras. A drop in the bucket if you buy one of their cameras as a kit, though (Epic packages are $58,000; RED One packages are over $30,000).
