Using a monitor with the 7d MUCH better than 5dmkII

Hmm... this thread has strayed quite a bit from it's title.

I want to hear more Bloom about the monitor.

also...

FANBOY FIGHT! LOL

Agreed.
I'd written yet another post in response to the last, but I just deleted it ....
You're right - let's get this thread back on topic.

If anyone wants to continue the conversation, feel free to start a new thread for it.
Otherwise, the topic is HDMI monitoring on the 7D, let's keep it that way.

Thanks.
 
edit: Sorry for the off-topic. I was writing this while you were posting the request, Luis. this is all I have to or want to say about the subject.

Hi Eddy: Sorry my posts weren't clear enough.

They are. I just don't agree with you.

First, if you don't think the current crop of mid-priced video-capable DSLRs have too many features then perhaps you should take another look. By "too many" I mean features that most people will never use, including serious users,

You know, I'm actually fine with it. In a pinch, I'd lose maybe the face recognition, and maybe the mirror and still image resolution. Because I'm a video guy. but then again, I take a lot of stills with my current little Lumix and I'm inordinately proud of them - I have just about trained myself into shooting without thinking.

For some people it's autofocus that's wasteful,

Hi Eddy: Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Much appreciated. I also don't have much money available to buy my next new camera, but I need one: My wonderful DSR-450WSL needs a HD-capable partner. Today's economic realities make it difficult for me to buy any new decent HD cam, but the gravitational pull of the 7D or GH1 may prove impossible to resist. It doesn't help that I'm allergic to video cams that don't feature basic audio and/or video external monitoring. :-)

Hi Drewmaw: Most of the posts in this thread are very relevant to the topic.

I'm always interested in hearing what Philip Bloom has to say, but he's a busy guy, what with his frequent jet-setting from one continent to another, breathing bar smoke, shooting schedule, rarely sleeping, and all. It's a living, and he's damn good at it. Hopefully he'll post more details about 7D external monitoring, but he's just as likely to have moved on to other things ...

Yeah, baby. But it could be a while before Magic Lantern is available for the 7D, most likely not until sometime after Canon releases their first 7D firmware update, and there's no guarantee of that even.

Meanwhile, do we think Canon or Jim Jannard of RED will make Tramm Hudson an offer he can't refuse ("Son, take this briefcase full of cash & go away!")? :-)
