Which on camera monitor?

[taras4444]

Hi all, I was just wondering what you all recommend for a on camera monitor for the af100? I am looking to spend around $1000 and would like a good 7inch (or there abouts) monitor that will let me pretty accurately check focus and the image. I was looking at the following two:

The marshall monitor:

or the manhattan one:

Which looks like it has better resolution - closer to 720p - and 1:1 pixel mapping which excuse my ignorance but should mean better and accurate focus no?

However, if you guys have better solutions in mind what do you suggest?

FInally, perhaps i should of started with this, what purchase do you recommend first, lighting or an on camera monitor if you can only afford one for the time being? Thanks Taras

I'd go fot the marshall one. For a really expensive camera, you want features on your monitor like false colour and peaking.
