I read a positive review on this monitor for use with DSLRs, and since it is priced so well, I had to try it. First of all, the company ships (at least my monitor) form Southern California, which is where I live. So I ordered the monitor on a Wednesday and it arrived the next day! I've been playing with it non stop since I got it. I think this monitor is perfect for anyone looking to expand their video production capabilities. I had a hard time keeping focus during a lot of movement/live events with the little 3" monitor on the 7d, and I've never been a viewfinder type of shooter. This 7" is the cure for that. My immediate reaction was "Marshall who?" There is virtually no reason to spend as much as $1600 on a field monitor when you can get this for $200. I messed with the settings a little to get the brightness to match the canon lcd, but I really didn't even need to do that. I am simply using this to better compose and focus shots. I'll update if I find any negative issues, but for now, I'mm still in new purchase afterglow, so it gets all 5 stars from me.
