one monitor per camera?

[ruester]

I want to get two cameras, do I need a monitor for each, or can I put them on a switch to flip between the two?

I wanna get the Panasonic BT-H1390Y 13 Monitor, is there a model that is similar but costs less out there?

You shouldn't have any problem using a switch between the two.

That monitor has a separate composite and s-video input, so you could ostensibly hook up two cameras to it directly, and use its own input switch to determine which camera's image to see.

Awesome! Thanks.

I know I should get two monitors, but do you foresee any problems with a single monitor setup? Any suggestions?

You will be completely fine with just one, unless the two cameras are miles apart. Most field monitors have an A and B input to switch for that very reason. As well you are asured that you can campare the to images correctly, without worrying about the monitors being calibrated.
