Hi all,
Just thought I'd give a heads up on this. I've been asking on other threads for awhile for confirmation on the rumor that the Nebtek HD monitor, NEB70HD will be getting a firmware upgrade that will enable it to use a Pixel-for-Pixel zoom feature. Well, I was able to speak to Rob Dupree who has been swamped with post NAB business, and he's confirmed it. Check out what he had to say:
I'm really stoked about this and will be sending my unit in this week. I think this really closes the gap between the much compared to BTLH80W, which also sports this feature. I actually had a chance to shoot alongside a BTLH80W and I honestly think the NEB70HD wins in daylight viewability (and i have the 500nit ver.1). Focus in red is cool, but the NEB70HD has focus in white in 3 levels. So the only thing the panny has over the nebtek in my mind is the waveform. However, I'm planning on getting a HPX170 so that will be moot point by years end.
Anyways, just thought I'd send word out to you existing NEB70HD owners.
***EDIT*** Oh, and I have no idea what "other tidbits" he is referring to. I'll report back with all I find when I get my unit returned/upgraded.
